An input device that allows for the free planar movement of an on-screen icon, usually an arrow. The user can trigger events by placing the icon over a region on the display and pushing one of the device's buttons (termed "clicking"). Pointing devices allow the user to control the operation of the computer and applications.
(n.) A mechanical or electronic device, such as a mouse, that manipulates the screen pointer.
n. An input device with which a user interacts with a computer. A mouse is one example of a pointing device.
A terminal input device that allows you to make a selection from a menu or to draw graphics. See mouse and tablet.
A device which controls the pointer, such as a mouse, glidepad, or graphics tablet.
A piece of equipment that is used to move the pointer and so indicate a position on a screen. The most common pointing device is the mouse, but others include lightpens, trackballs and touchscreens.
a computer tool used to point at an on-screen representation
an external tool that is used to move objects around and also to select options from menus
an input device that allows you to control the pointer
An input device that moves an onscreen pointer, such as an arrow or insertion point, to allow the user to select objects on the screen.

A device used to control the cursor (or pointer) on the display screen. To control the cursor with a mouse, the user rolls a small box-like device across a hard surface. The user turns a ball resting in a stationary holder to operate a trackball and moves
Usually means mouse, but can refer to trackball, etc. ጠቋሚ መሳáˆáˆ• View
A pointing device is any computer hardware component (specifically human interface device) that allows a user to input spatial (ie, continuous and multi-dimensional) data to a computer. CAD systems and graphical user interfaces (GUI) allow the user to control and provide data to the computer using physical gestures - point, click, and drag - typically by moving a hand-held mouse across the surface of the physical desktop and activating switches on the mouse. Movements of the pointing device are echoed on the screen by movements of the mouse pointer (or cursor) and other visual changes.
