Mouse

Although all laptops come with a built-in trackpad for navigation on a computer screen, the humble mouse is still a necessary peripheral for a laptop, just as much as it is for a computer. This is down to ergonomics. Using a trackpad on a daily basis can cause fatigue and discomfort of the hands and wrist. There is also an additional strain placed on the neck and shoulder.

Not only is a mouse better for a student’s wellbeing it also increases levels of productivity by providing a more efficient way of working on a computer. Scrolling up and down using a mouse wheel is easier and faster than on a trackpad and mice often come with additional buttons that can be used as shortcuts to commonly used functions.

They can be used across devices to make completing work on a computer easier for students and teachers. They can help to alleviate stress on the hand and wrist provide a more comfortable work space.

A much higher level of productivity can be achieved by using a mouse instead of a trackpad. They can be either wired or wireless depending on the requirements. A wired mouse is often cheaper and does not require batteries whereas a wireless mouse gives more flexibility of use and can be used with devices that do not have USB ports.
