A laser mouse is a type of optical mouse that uses laser light to detect mouse movement. Like all optical mice, it has no moving parts inside. The laser mouse is more accurate than the standard LED (light-emitting diode) optical mouse, although the latter has gotten much closer over the years. However, the improved sensitivity and precision are useful for gaming and graphical or engineering design applications where pinpoint accuracy is important.
