I would like to describe remaining advantages and disadvantages briefly.
Mechanical Mouse:
Disadvantages
- performance and tracking ability depend on the surface the mouse moves
- need mouse pad or any special surface
- the cursor movement looks not smoother to the end user
- When you use mechanical mouse, you need to clean the dirt or debris that comes inside the mouse so that the ball and rollers are able to move freely when the mouse moves
- Mechanical mouse are heavy generally.
Advantage
Optical Mouse:
Disadvantages
- Much expensive than Mechanical mouse
- Mouse code is required. Physically should be connected to the computer
Advantages
- Optical mice usually function trouble-free for years
- Early optical mice required a special mouse pad, but today's devices can be rolled over traditional pads like a mechanical mouse as well as over almost any surface other than glass or mirror
- precision of optical mice is also much greater than mechanical mice
- There are no moving parts to break or otherwise cause problems
- Weightless
Wireless Mouse
Disadvantage
- Much expensive
- battery required for some designs
Advantage
- Cordless mice are more and more popular because they can be used without physically being connected to the computer, which gives a sensation of freedom.
- free up desk space and elimination of mouse cord
- not need special surface
