You've probably used a mouse today. But do you know how it works?
Check out www.pcbway.com/ for all kinds of PCBs, easy ordering, and quick delivery. Take a look at their PCB Assembly, for an inexpensive population of the components on your PCBs.
In this video, we explore the different parts of a computer mouse and we'll focus on the optical navigation system. Specifically, we'll look at how exactly computer mice can track their movement on a mouse pad. Finally, we take a look at the difference between gaming mice and normal mice, and we explore DPI or dots per inch and how different mice have different amounts of DPI.

Excellent video. I’m an old electrical engineer but just never thought much about how optical mice worked. Nice bit of explanation. Getting a vertical mouse for Christmas, in preparation for a new desktop build early in the new year. Hope the vertical style will better suit these older, stiffer hands. The hard part will be to move the mouse without thinking about your fine graphics and lucid explanations.

I was using mice back in the ball days and it's so awesome to see that we've replaced the ball with what is essentially a camera (no one misses cleaning out the ball and the rollers!). I knew pretty much how it worked, but this video filled in so many blanks, and knowing the insane data processing speeds of thousands of 'pictures' every second is truly mind blowing. How do modern mice work? They're constantly scanning the table and thinking about the imperfections, tens of thousands of times a second. Incredible!

For those interested, the little SoC (with the red dot) near the imager chip is a --muRata MBN52832-- Nordic Semiconductor NRF52832 which contains a 32bit Arm Cortex M4F with built in FPU processor with 64k of RAM and 512k flash storage. Here's an interesting tidbit, the Cortex M4F has enough processing power to run Doom, so technically if you were to add a couple megabytes of ram and a display to this mouse it could run and control Doom by itself.

The mouse knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the mouse from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the mose is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the mouse must also know where it was.

I own exactly this model and recently tore it apart because I dropped it once too often. So I was surprised to see such detailed and accurate animations! First I thought that you simply ripped some marketing animations but when the animation went on and on, perfectly depicting the highly technical contents, my jaw just dropped.

It's amazing how the simplest things can be very difficult to produce. This reminds me of a video I once saw, about a car's steering wheel. It's unbelievable the amount of calculations that goes into making a steering wheel work

How simple the technology looks compared to the processes that goes into it is all on one side of the scale,.. while the quality of this video is equally matching it on the other. Animation, explanation, and flow is really well thoughtout and greatly executed.

The regular mouse that is portrayed here is a Logitech MX Master 3. Now, this is a $100 mouse which I thought was insane when I saw it on Amazon. But, the more I checked it out the more impressed I was. I've now had it for around a year and this video only makes me appreciate it even more. You may balk at a $100 mouse, but it is INCREDIBLE and the battery that's charged via USB lasts around 4 months before needing to be charged for 20 minutes. Incredible!

the thing that is most impressive is how clever and simply everything is at its base lvl. the speed of its operations and the thinking to develop this tech is what really amazes me.

I swear I'm in love with this channel. Absolutely amazing videos. Such niche topics explained so simply yet so in detail with quality and comprehensive animations, leaving little to no questions to ask and covering other related sub-categories that make up that topic, fullfilling people's curiousity about how things work. Gratitudes.

I LOVED the animation and you explained everything really well, i will never see my mouse the same way again

As someone who owns the Logitech G502 Hero gaming mouse shown in this video, I had an a-ha moment watching you explain high DPI!! That interpolation that you explained translates into an actual difference in user experience with high DPI vs low DPI. At higher DPI, even as low as ~2000, I notice a sort of smoothness to the mouse movement that isn't present at 800. The higher you go, the smoother this feeling gets, almost as if your mouse is going down a long water slide with smooth turns and centrifugal forces. High DPI means stronger gravity and smoother but sharper turns. I realize now that that feeling is because the interpolation algorithm is essentially smoothing out the textured surface that the mouse is capturing, which is fascinating to me! So when pro gamers are said to use 800 DPI, this helps make sense of that. It's the most accurate DPI, where your hand movements are directly translated into movement. An interpolation algorithm can introduce tiny amounts of error there, or the smoother movement can make precise starts and stops of the cursor harder to achieve. So thank you for this great and super interesting video! I can't wait to watch more.
