    The Keyboard - Ergonomic Keyboards


    Long periods of keyboard use can cause injuries.
    An ergonomically correct keyboard can help you
    avoid injuries.
    You also can avoid injuries by adopting correct
    keyboarding practices.

    The Keyboard - How a Keyboard Works


    When you press a key:

    The keyboard controller detects the keystroke.

    The controller places a scan code in the keyboard


    buffer, indicating which key was pressed.

    The keyboard sends the computer an interrupt


    request, telling the CPU to accept the keystroke.

    The Mouse

    Mouse Techniques

    The Mouse - What is a Mouse?

    The mouse is a pointing device. You use it to move


    a graphical pointer on the screen.

    The mouse can be used to issue commands, draw,


    and perform other types of input tasks.

    The Mouse - Mouse Techniques


    Using the mouse involves five techniques:
    1. Pointing; Move the mouse to move the on-screen pointer.
    2. Clicking; Press and release the left mouse button
    once.
    3. Double-clicking; Press and release the left mouse
    button twice.
    4. Dragging; Hold down the left mouse button as you
    move the pointer.
    5. Right-clicking; Press and release the right mouse button.

    Variants of the Mouse


    Trackballs
    Trackpads
    Integrated Pointed Devices

    Variants of the Mouse - Trackballs


    A trackball is like a mouse turned upside-down.
    Use your thumb to move the exposed ball and your
    fingers to press the buttons.

    Many styles of
    trackball are
    available.

    Variants of the Mouse - Trackpads

    A trackpad is a touch-sensitive pad that provides the


    same functionality as a mouse.

    To use a trackpad, you glide your finger across its


    surface.

    Trackpads provide a set of buttons that function like


    mouse buttons.

    Variants of the MouseIntegrated Pointing Devices

    An integrated pointing device is a small joystick built


    into the keyboard.

    To use an integrated pointing device, you move the


    joystick.

    like mouse buttons
