1. Mouse: The classic pointing device. It uses a sensor to detect movement on a surface and translates that to cursor movement on the screen.
2. Touchpad: Found on most laptops, it's a touch-sensitive surface that allows you to control the cursor with your finger.
3. Trackball: Similar to a mouse, but the ball is on top and you roll it with your fingers to move the cursor.
