Did You Know The First Computer Mouse Was Wooden?

The computer mouse comes from humble beginnings and had a long road to the sleek, sometimes quirky, often high-tech and efficient tool we now use on a daily basis.

In 1963, Douglas Engelbart, working for the Stanford Research Institute, became the father of the modern mouse. He developed a gadget made with a wooden base using two wheels to roll back and forth. It was the first mouse that could fit into a user's hand.
