Basic Mouse Skills is a free educational PC program by developer Grey Olltwit Software and serves as a teaching tool that helps users learn how to use mouse peripherals to interact and navigate their computers. It teaches them about core functions and how to utilize them through interactive and easy-to-follow exercises.

Learning the basics

In a word, Basic Mouse Skills is an interactive instructional tool on learning how to use a mouse to interact and operate your PC. It will guide you through all the core functions of mice, from movement to what the different buttons do and how they work in helping you navigate your computer’s operating system.

Getting started is pretty easy, as it’s basically being presented as a mini-game of sorts, wherein you’ll have to reach the required score to move on to the next stage and learn a new function. Having said that, the application’s UI design is a bit too plain and dull, which is not a big deal, but it does detract from the experience somewhat.

Nice and interactive

If you’re trying to have someone learn how to use PCs for the first time, whether they’re young children, seniors, or those with learning disabilities, Basic Mouse Skills is a handy teaching tool you should check out. It’s intuitive to use and offers interactive exercises that are easy to follow along with. It’s not much to look at, but it does what it’s supposed to.
