laser mouse

Beamlit cursor controller

A laser mouse is a computer mouse that uses a laser beam to track movement across a surface.

More precise than older optical mice that use LED light, laser mice work on a wider variety of surfaces including glass and glossy materials: I switched to a laser mouse because my optical one kept skipping on my desk.
