Answer 2

The first integrated mouse — shipped as a part of a computer and intended for personal computer navigation — came with Xerox Star 1981.
Douglas Engelbart of the Stanford Research Institute invented the mouse in 1964[2][3] after extensive usability testing. It was one of several experimental pointing-devices developed for Engelbart's oN-Line System (NLS). The other devices exploited other body movements — for example, head-mounted devices attached to the chin or nose — but ultimately the mouse won out because of its simplicity and convenience. The first mouse, a bulky device (pictured) used two gear-wheels perpendicular to each other: the rotation of each wheel translated into motion along one axis. Engelbart received patent US3541541 on November 17, 1970 for an "X-Y Position Indicator for a Display System".[4] At the time, Engelbart envisaged that users would hold the mouse continuously in one hand and type on a five-key chord keyset with the other.

Answer 3

It was invented in 1964 by Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute's Augmentation Research Center in California.

Answer 4

At Xerox PARC. The Palo Alto Research Center was set up by Xerox in 1970 to engage in computer development research. This was at a time when computers were booted up off of rolls of punched tape. Almost every feature of modern computers was developed there, yet Xerox gave most of it away. Even the methodology of creating overlapping windows on a monitor was developed at PARC.
