Mice can be harmful pests, damaging and eating crops and spreading diseases through their parasites and feces.
Mice generally live on a herbivore diet, but are actually omnivores: they will eat meat, the dead bodies of other mice, and have been observed to self-cannibalise their tails during starvation.
Mice are very common experimental animals in biology and psychology primarily because they are mammals, and thus share a high degree of homology with humans, but can be manipulated in ways that would be considered unethical to do with humans.
Whereas a mechanical mouse uses a ball and wheels to detect the movement of the mouse, an optical mouse uses a light emitting diode and photodiodes to detect the movement of the mouse pad.
Early optical mice, such as those invented by Steve Kirsch of Mouse Systems Corporation, could be used only on a special metallic-surface (mouse pad) printed with a grid of fine blue and grey lines.
Most of these mice use LEDs to illuminate the surface that is being tracked; LED optical mice are often mislabeled as "Laser Mice", probably because a red LED is used in almost all optical mice, and the laser color many people are most familiar with is red.
