Trackballs: Type of input device that looks like an upside-down mouse. The
onscreen pointer is moved by the trackball with a thumb or finger. A trackball requires
less arm and wrist motion that a regular mouse takes. To the right is a picture of the
Logitech Cordless Trackman Optical and an example of a trackball mouse.

Touch Pads: Also known as a glide point or track pad, a touchpad is an input device
found on the majority of portable computers, and now also available with some
external keyboards, that allows you to move the mouse cursor without the need of an
external mouse.
A touchpad is operated by using your finger and dragging it across a flat surface; as
you move your finger on the surface, the mouse cursor will move in that same
direction, and like most computer mice, the touchpad also has two buttons below the
touch surface that enables you to click like a standard mouse.
Joystick: A peripheral input device that looks similar to a control device you would
find on an arcade game at your local arcades. A computer joystick allows an
individual to easily navigate an object in a game such as navigating a plane in a flight
simulator. The image to the right of this text is an image of the Logitech Freedom 2.4
joystick and is an example of what you would expect most computer joysticks to look
like.

USB Connectors: USB - Universal Serial Bus connectors are intermediateries for
connections between Computers and Hardware. These USB connectors let you attach
everything from mice to printers to your computer quickly and easily. Printers
connected to parallel printer ports, and most computers only came with one. Things
like Zip drives, which need a high speed connection into the computer, would use the
parallel port as well, often with limited success and not much speed.The operating
system supports USB as well, so the installation of the device drivers is quick and
easy, too Anyone who has been around computers for more than two or three years
knows the problem that the Universal Serial Bus is trying to solve in the past,
connecting devices to computers has been a real headache.
The Universal Serial Bus gives you a single, standardized, easy to use way to
connect up to 127 devices to a computer.. Most computers have at most two serial
ports, and they are very slow in most cases. Devices that needed faster connections
came with their own cards, which had to fit in a card slot inside the computer case.
Bus Connections: Modern field bus connections have to be easy to implement and
extremely reliable. Adding to its I-Net product line, Provertha developed a Plug &
Play bus connector for the CAN-BUS fulfilling these needs and addressing a broad
range of applications in industrial communications and automation.
CAN-BUS devices with D-Sub interfaces require an easy, fail-safe connection,
and fault-free data transmission, as a faulty CAN-BUS connector can result in down
times of complex industrial and factory automation systems with high related costs to
follow. Provertha’s new bus connector Plug & Play CAN-BUS with two M12
connector interfaces uses 100% tested bus connectors, and 100% tested M12 cable
assemblies, to secure a fast and fail-safe CAN-BUS connection. The new bus
connector Plug & Play CAN-BUS allows the implementation of field bus components
within seconds, as it needs neither a time-consuming cable preparation nor an often
critical cable shield connection to the bus connector.
The M12 connector comes with the standardized A-coding. As an additional
benefit this Plug & Play CAN-BUS connector carries all of the signals specified in the
CAN-BUS standard, i.e. CAN-Low, CAN-High, and CAN-GND, as well as the
supply voltages V+ and V-. An external switch with its ON/OFF position visible from
the front side can be used to activate the termination resistors for the bus termination.
The connector is available without or with a second D-Sub as a PG interface for
programming or diagnosis purposes.

Mouse Troubleshooting: There are so many troubleshooting while using a
mouse. Some important one are:
Sometimes the mouse is not working. It is not recognized by the system or the
mouse drivers.
Sometimes the mouse is stuttering, sticking or moving in a jerky fashion.
Sometimes a PS/2-style mouse doesn't work on Serial Port when an adapter to
convert it from the PS/2 6-pin mini-DIN connector to the 9-pin serial
connector is used.
Sometimes the mouse works under Windows 95, and in DOS boxes running
under Windows 95, but not when I boot to DOS or "Restart the computer in
MS-DOS mode".
This section discusses troubleshooting of problems with mice or related to
them. Like keyboards, mice are extremely simple devices that rarely fail and
are relatively simple to troubleshoot. Since new mice can cost as little as ten
dollars--even decent quality ones sometimes, believe it or not--they are in
many ways items that you discard and replace when they stop working. Of
course most problems with them are relatively straightforward to fix anyway.
They are also easy to diagnose by swapping with another mouse.
