Learn how to hold the computer mouse properly:
Hold the sides of the mouse with your thumb on one side and ring finger or pinkie, which ever feels more comfortable to you, on the other side. Your index finger goes on the left button and your middle finger on the right button. There are also wireless computer mouse in the market now.
Some computer mice only have one button; some have more than one button. Some have a wheel which you can use your middle finger to depress the wheel then turn it up or down to scroll pages very quickly or slow depending on how quickly you turn the wheel. Myself personally, I love the wheel and would not have a mouse without a wheel! When you are told to ‘click’ use the button under your index finger, or the left button.
Computer Beginners Basics: Learn how to move the computer mouse:
Slowly slide the computer mouse around on the mouse pad. See what happens to the arrow on the screen as you slide it around.
Basic Computer Skills Training: Do you need a computer mouse pad:
To move the mouse of computer, you should have a mouse pad under your mouse, (although the new optic mice do not require one). You will have an array of choices when purchasing a mouse pad; find the one that is comfortable for you. Rest your hand on the mouse pad or desk and move it slowly, there is no need to lift the mouse off the mouse pad unless you run out of room, then you just lift it up and reposition where needed. You don’t need to move the mouse to the left or right, simply slide it left or right with the buttons still facing away from you.
Clicking sends a command to the computer. To click, just gently press and release the left computer mouse button of the computer mouse. Be careful not to move the mouse while you are clicking, if you accidentally do simply slide the mouse back to where you want to click and try clicking again. Try to keep your hand relaxed on the mouse as you press and release the computer mouse without lifting your finger completely off the button.
