Optical Navigation Sensors

Avago Technologies - Inventor of optical mice sensor technology, introduced the world's first surface-independent, optical position-sensors for mouse technology in 1999. To date, Avago Technologies has shipped more than 600 million optical mouse sensors worldwide.

PC users are demanding smoother, faster and more precise mouse control over a wider variety of surfaces. In answer to this need, traditional ball-based tracking has been replaced by a solid-state, optical tracking system that increases mouse surface coverage, prevents cursor skipping, enhances navigation accuracy, enables greater durability, and reduces maintenance due to fewer mechanical parts. A new laser-based navigation technology from Avago Technologies now takes these capabilities one step further to provide the smoothest and most accurate motion ever from an optical mouse.
