Developed by Microsoft Corporation, mouhid.sys is the system file for Microsoft HID, a computer mouse driver software. It is a pointing device which functions by detecting a two-dimensional motion with its supporting surface. The mouse consists of a handheld object with single or more buttons, featuring several other elements, with the main component as "wheels" that enables the user to do various system-dependent operations, extra features or buttons which provide more control and dimensional input to a task. It typically translates the motion of the pointer on a graphical display, allowing the user fine control on a graphical user interface. Hovering and clicking can select files, actions or programs from a list or names through small images, or called "icons" or other elements. Users can employ mice by “gesture”, a stylized motion more known as the mouse cursor itself, which can issue or run a command, map to a particular action.
