The first prototype of a computer mouse, as designed by Bill English from Douglas Engelbart's sketches [1]. Engelbart had assembled a team of computer engineers and programmers at his Augmentation Research Center (ARC) located in Stanford University's Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the early 1960s.

Douglas Engelbart of the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) has been credited in published books by Thierry Bardini, [15] Paul Ceruzzi, [16] Howard Rheingold, [17] and several others [18] [19] [20] as the inventor of the computer mouse. Engelbart was also recognized as such in various obituary titles after his death in July 2013.
Douglas Carl Engelbart (January 30, 1925 – July 2, 2013) was an American engineer, inventor, and a pioneer in many aspects of computer science.He is best known for his work on founding the field of human–computer interaction, particularly while at his Augmentation Research Center Lab in SRI International, which resulted in creation of the computer mouse, [a] and the development of ...
Don Andrews, Bill English, and Doug Engelbart at SRI's Augmentation Research Center during a meeting with sponsors of the program. SRI International's Augmentation Research Center (ARC) was founded in the 1960s by electrical engineer Douglas Engelbart to develop and experiment with new tools and techniques for collaboration and information processing.
It was designed by Douglas Engelbart and implemented by researchers at the Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). It was the first computer system to employ the practical use of hypertext links, a computer mouse , raster-scan video monitors , information organized by relevance, screen windowing ...
Mousetray screenshot from Engelbart's video. During a 1967 presentation by Douglas Engelbart marking the public debut of a mouse, [1] Engelbart used a control console designed by Matt P. Brown of Herman Miller that included a keyboard and an inset portion used as a support area for the mouse.
Mouse conceived by Douglas Engelbart. [citation needed] The mouse was not to become popular until 1983 with Apple Computer's Lisa and Macintosh and not adopted by IBM until 1987 – although compatible computers such as the Amstrad PC1512 were fitted with mice before this date. 1964 US
In use it was quickly discovered that holding the pen to the vertical monitor screen was extremely tiring, so the idea of using the terminal for input was abandoned. The GM team later visited Douglas Engelbart's lab where they saw the first computer mouse, and based future projects on this device instead. [14]
