A remote control mouse functions very much like an ordinary mouse. The main characteristic that distinguishes it is that it is not connected through a cable to the computer. Instead, it transmits Infrared beam to the receiver situated very near to the computer. The receiver is oriented in such a way that it picks the signal from anywhere within the range but, when an object or person enters its “line of sight" between the receiver and the mouse, its signal may not be transferred from the mouse to the receiver.
