The computer mouse pointer or cursor is the image that appears on the computer screen when you are using your mouse. Usually it has two different shapes: it looks like a small arrow when you are navigating the web or just looking for something specific on your computer and like a vertical line when you click on a text document and want to edit it.



You can move this pointer or cursor wherever you want on the computer screen by moving the computer mouse, as the movements of the two are interconnected. Actually this computer mouse pointer is the basic idea of using the computer mouse when operating a computer, because computers used to be operated only via keyboards or pen-like devices.



So how exactly does this work? Well, when you move your computer mouse, it has some sensors attached (either optical or even laser) that determine the exact position of the mouse in space. Then the mouse sends the exact coordinates of its position to the main computer either through the cord - if the mouse is corded or radio frequency or infrared light beams. The computer will be able to use all the information about the computer mouse's change of position and will translate it into similar movements of the cursor on the computer screen. In this way we, the computer users, can make the mouse cursor move where we want it to and how fast we want it.

The cursor helps you point to documents you want to open and to things you want to move on the screen and also place the letter in the exact spot where you want to introduce a text in a written document or make some changes to it. Anyway, sometimes it may be possible to use the same and the same old mouse cursor that looks like a lifeless arrow and want to replace it with something funnier.
