Track Ball  A trackball is a device which consists of a ball housed in a socket containing sensors to detect rotation of the ball about two axes i.e. An upside-down mouse with an exposed protruding ball. The ball is rolled by the user with the help of thumb, fingers, or the palm of the hand in order to move a cursor.  For easy precision tracker balls are common on CAD workstations. Before the invention of the touchpad, trackballs were common on portable computers, where there were no desk space on which a mouse could be run. Some small thumb balls clip on the side of the keyboard and have also integral buttons with the same function as mouse buttons have.    Mouse  A mouse is a device that a computer user moves across a desk surface in order to point to a place on a display screen and to select one or more than one actions to take from that position. It consists of a metal or plastic casing. A ball, which sticks out of the bottom of the casing, is rolled on a flat surface. It has one or more buttons on the top of the casing. It is consists of a cable that connects the mouse with the computer. When the ball is moved over the surface in any direction, a sensor sends directions to the computer that causes a mouse responsive program to reposition a visible indicator which is called a cursor on the display screen. This positioning is comparative to some variable starting place. While viewing the cursor's present position, the user readjusts the position of cursor by moving the mouse on the plain surface.

mouse
Today's applications require mouse, also known as pointing device. A mouse can be used for many applications, ranging from games to drawing and design products with computer graphics.

The mouse is an input device that usually one to four buttons; specialized applications use more than one button. As the user moves the mouse on the mouse pad, the cursor moves on the screen and the user can move to any part of the screen. When the user presses any of the buttons, the pointers either makes a mark on the screen or makes selections from data or menus from the screen.

Electromechanical mouse has a sphere on its underside; a ball rotates inside that sphere and moves the cursor on the screen. An optical mouse is used on special tablets of grid lines. The computer senses the location of mouse on the grid and turns these data to a relative position on the screen. Wireless mouse is also available.

Track ball
The track ball is also a pointing device. It is like a mouse turned upside down, and with a larger ball in the sphere. The advantage is no space is required to move the track ball, as in case of mouse it has to be moved. Trackballs are not popular people feel more comfortable with mouse.
