What are the main functions of the mouse?
Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:
The main function of the mouse is to move the cursor on the screen in a graphical interface (GUI), allowing you to interact with the elements on the screen through its different buttons, especially the two main and basic buttons (left click and right click). ). In other words, the mouse allows you to interact with the graphical operating system and its applications.
Modern mice also have a scroll wheel or button that allows you to scroll the content of documents on the screen.
In some virtual reality programs or 3D video games, the mouse also allows you to move the virtual setting or the character from one side to another.
