An optical mouse is a computer mouse that does not have a wheel and does not require a mouse pad.  Optical mice have several benefits over wheeled mice.   First of all, They don't require a special surface, such as a mouse pad.  Because there are no moving parts there is a lower chance of failure, and there is no way for dirt to get inside the mouse and interfere with the tracking sensors.

An optical mouse actually uses a tiny camera to take 1,500 pictures every second.  It uses a small, red light-emitting diode (LED) that bounces light off any surface (desk, table) onto a complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. Based on the change in patterns over a sequence of images, the DSP determines how far the mouse has moved and sends the corresponding coordinates to the computer. The computer moves the cursor on the screen based on the coordinates received from the mouse. This happens hundreds of times each second, making the cursor appear to move very smoothly.

Optical mice are used every day by people who use computers.  They are an integral tool in the use of Windows-based software.  They make most computers much easier to use.  

Optical mice are an idea promo product for people in an office environment because they  afford the opportunity for a large number of impressions.

Since many laptops do not come with mice, these are a great gift for students or travelers who find mice easier to work with than the touch pads that come with laptops.  Even if you do not have a lap top, a mouse with a unique color or design is a welcome addition to brighten anyone’s desktop. 

USB accessories are any type of computer accessory that is powered through the USB drive of the computer.  Some examples of these are a USB powered light, a fan, or an adapter that allows you to charge you cell phone from the USB port.

USB accessories are fun and useful ways to extend the use of your computer.

USB Accessories are ideal promo products because they are unique items that are not always seen in stores.  Because they are on the desktop, they will receive a large number of impressions.
