Abstract
A computer mouse, wherein the electronic circuitry associated with the mouse is physically isolated from the outside environment by means of a sealed housing and the use of a non-physical coupling between the operating means and the movement centre which detects movement of the operating means and enables such movement to be translated into an electrical signal representative of the movement.
