Tietokoneaste, also known as a computer mouse, is a peripheral device used to control the cursor on a computer screen. It is typically connected to a computer via a USB cable or wirelessly using Bluetooth or radio frequency. The mouse allows users to navigate through graphical user interfaces, select and manipulate objects, and perform various tasks such as clicking, dragging, and scrolling.

The basic components of a mouse include a body, a pointing device (such as a ball, optical sensor, or laser), and one or more buttons. The pointing device tracks the movement of the mouse, translating it into cursor movement on the screen. The buttons are used to select, click, and perform other actions. Modern mice often include additional features such as scroll wheels, side buttons, and advanced sensors for improved precision and functionality.

Mice are essential tools for computer users, providing a more intuitive and efficient way to interact with digital content compared to keyboard-only navigation. They are widely used in various fields, including office work, gaming, graphic design, and programming. The design and functionality of mice have evolved over the years, with advancements in technology leading to more ergonomic and high-performance devices.
