What unit is used by computer scientists to measure the speed and movement of a computer mouse?
Bits
Nibbles
Mickeys
Hogsheads
Fact: The speed and sensitivity of a computer mouse are measured in “mickeys,” a term inspired by Mickey Mouse. A mickey represents the smallest detectable movement a mouse can make—about 1/200 of an inch or 0.1 millimeter. Computer scientists use this unit to quantify both how far (mickeys per inch) and how fast (mickeys per second) a mouse moves across a surface. The playful name reflects a broader trend of using animal-based terms in measurement, like horsepower for engines and hogsheads for barrels of liquid.
Correct Answer: Mickeys
