INFORMATION AND COMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY GYAMFI SERIES
A trackball mouse is something like an upside-down ball mouse. Instead of moving the mouse around,
it detects motion by spinning the ball using the thumb or palm of the
hand. Even though it works similarly to the ball mouse, the design of
the trackball mouse is totally different.

The ball itself is typically made of dense glass or plastic, it is smooth
and does not attract dirt as sticky rubber does. Some trackball mouse is
also made to be held in one hand and acts more like a remote control
than a mouse.

8) STYLUS MOUSE

This is a “mutated mouse” that is a cross in between a pen and mouse. Favored
by digital artists, the stylus mouse is about the size of a very fat brush,
typically used for freehand drawing with computers. Yep, some of the higher
end stylus mice are even sensitive to touch pressure for emulating actual brush
strokes on paper.

9) PRESENTATION MOUSE

Once upon a time, we have to carry a separate laser pointer, mouse, and extra need one
person to press the mouse for presentations… We often have to shout “next slide” for that
someone to click on the mouse. Some smart monkey thought it will be a good idea to
combine a mouse and laser pointer together, and it is.

10) VERTICAL MOUSE

Yes, this is a mouse that stands upright, and you sort of “grab” it… Probably
one of the “weirder” mice in the entire list, but this design has so-called
“better ergonomics”.
