@thom.code: Part 7 ~ Every Computer Mouse Explained One mouse on this list died 25 years ago — and last year it quietly came back. Here's every computer mouse explained. We go through every type of mouse in plain English and bust the myths on the way. You'll learn that your optical mouse is really a tiny camera (so a stuttering cursor is usually the desk, not the mouse), why "laser" isn't the upgrade the box claims, and the biggest lie printed on any gaming mouse: high DPI. Pros compete at 400–800, not 26,000 — and we explain polling rate and weight so you stop overpaying for numbers you can't feel. Then the shapes built for a job: ergonomic (palm vs claw vs fingertip grip), vertical mice for aching wrists, trackballs, Apple's touch Magic Mouse, plus the pen, air, foot, and industrial mice. We finish with the double-click curse (and the free debounce fix), and the haptic mouse that flopped in 2000 and returned in the 2025 MX Master 4. The rule: the shape and the switch are what you're really buying — everything else is a setting. 🔔 Subscribe to PCExplainer for more tech explained in plain English — new videos every week. 💬 Got a topic you want explained next?
