Hi, Ben Sinclair

A computer mouse is a handheld hardware input device that controls a cursor in a GUI (graphical user interface) and can move and select the text, icons, files, and folders on your computer.

For desktop computers, the mouse is placed on a flat surface (e.g., mouse pad: pickmouse.com/2020/12/why-use-a-mo...) in front of your computer. The picture is an example of a Logitech desktop computer mouse with two primary buttons and a wheel.

Cheers!
