When was the computer mouse invented?

It did not just show up out of the blue. It was actually invented in and around the year 1964, and patented by a man named Doug Engelbart. Bill English is given credit as a joint inventor.


Doug Engelbart was a man way ahead of his time. His invention of the mouse was created in his research lab which he opened in 1963. Although he invented the first mouse 1n 1964, it was not adapted for general use until the 1980s, when Apple Computers was the first company to put them with their computers.
