What are the advantages and the disadvantages of a mouse?

Advantages:
       
A mouse works very well for navigating a graphical user interface, such as Windows or Mac. With additional buttons and a scroll wheel, increasingly complex functions can be done from a mouse. These include opening, closing and minimizing software; grouping, moving and deleting files; and even image editing with software like Photoshop. In my experience, a mouse is better for fine movements and adjustments than most of the alternatives.

Disadvantages:
              An external mouse requires space, making it nearly impossible to use on an airplane. A mechanical mouse needs to be cleaned regularly or it will get clogged with lint and dust. The cord on most mice can get hung up and drag, making the mouse difficult to use.
