Avago Technologies has announced a series of small form factor (SFF) optical mouse sensors with an integrated chip-on-board (COB) LED illuminated optical navigation system that is the thinnest in the ...

In this tutorial, I will show how you can handle the optical sensor inside a cheap optical-mouse for your next microcontroller project. Hope, this will allow your preferred microcontroller to look at ...

If your pointing device is a mouse, turn it over. The chances are you’ll see a red LED light if you’re not seriously old-school and your mouse has a ball, this light serves as the illumination for a ...

Unlike a mechanical mouse (which uses a ball) or a laser mouse (which uses a laser), an optical mouse uses a reflective LED light in order to track movement, which is why the best mousepads for ...

AZIO's EXO 1 is very much worth its cost! It functions well, feels good, and it glides smooth as silk. Even though we eventually got used to it, the compact shape may be a turn off to some large ...

I have seen only one other mouse from Genius thus far, when we looked at the DeathTaker, not too long ago. It was small, compact, was stylish, had plenty of buttons, and even offered a weighting ...

Wanting to experiment with using optical mouse sensors but a bit frustrated with the lack of options, [Tom Wiggins] rolled his own breakout board for the ADNS 3050 optical mouse sensor and in the ...
