This is a mouse.  A nice, simple mouse.  No bells or whistles.  Just a mouse.

But that doesn't mean it's not the best simple mouse! We compared a few and liked this one quite a bit. It's optical for good resolution and precision, it has two buttons for use with any kind of OS, and it has a pretty sturdy USB connector.  The track wheel has a good spin and click action. The right and left clicks also make a nice, satisfactory sound, which we always enjoy. It's small but not too small.

It comes in a nice Adafruit black as seen in the beautiful photos above. It's also big enough to fit your hand comfortably.

This will work well with Raspberry Pi and any other kind of computer, as it's a standard HID mouse!

This guide will show how to use the mouse via USB Host on a microcontroller with CircuitPython and Arduino.
