An optical mouse utilises digital image processing technology in order to keep track of your cursor's position on the screen. An optical mouse actually has a tiny camera which can take 1,500 pictures in a single second. The advantage of an optical mouse over a mechanical mouse is the fact that an optical mouse is easier to maintain and does not have any moving parts that can be susceptible to failure. An optical mouse will also not require you to buy a mouse pad, although there are some mouse pads which are made specifically for optical mice.

There are also some cordless optical mice available in the market nowadays. These mice are just like standard computer mice, except for the fact that they have no cords connecting them to the computer. These use radio or infrared waves to communicate with the computer. These mice are typically more expensive than those with cords so think about your needs and priorities before going ahead and buying one.
