Mouse 
Definition:

A mouse is a hand-held device used as a pointing and/or drawing instrument.  It is an input device that allows you to move the cursor around the screen.


Explanation:

A mouse can move the cursor in several directions.  It is most often used on a special flat surface called a mouse pad.  There are usually two, and sometimes three, buttons on a mouse.  The three types of movements of a mouse are "point", "click", and "drag."
