Best Way to Use Your Mouse

September 20, 2008 – 8:55 pm

Your mouse has a few buttons that can come in handy in many moments. There are a few functions that your mouse buttons are designed for and let me here describe them briefly for you:

• Left mouse button. Whenever you press your left mouse button, Windows captures this and takes action depending what is hidden under the cursor. It will usually select graphical objects such as buttons and icons. If you hold left mouse button and move it at the same time you will be able to select more than one item in Windows. Additionally this combination is used to draw one item unto another item.
• Right mouse button. Whenever you press right mouse button it will force a menu to appear. This small menu usually contains list of commands that are associated with the object that you right clicked.
If you are new to computers you might find this quite confusing, but using your mouse is like driving a car: after some time you won’t even have to think about what you are doing. When it comes to mouses, I suggest buying one which has a clickable scroll wheel button, as it will help you a lot in the long run.
