1. A method for providing feedback from a personal computer (PC) to a mouse, the method comprising:
- providing a sensor within the mouse;
utilizing the sensor to receive signals from the PC;
providing a register coupled to the sensor, wherein the register comprises a plurality of bits, and specific signals received from the PC trigger specific bits of the plurality of bits;
defining a plurality of areas on the mouse which can provide a feedback response, the plurality of areas corresponding to the plurality of bits in the register; and
translating the signals from the PC to trigger specific bits within the register and thereby activate a feedback response of at least one of the plurality of areas.
