A mouse works through a combination of hardware and software.

The hardware includes a sensor that detects movement on a surface and translates it into cursor movement on the screen.

The software includes drivers that communicate with the operating system to interpret the sensor data and control the cursor movement.

The mouse requires a surface with enough friction to detect movement, such as a mouse pad or a desk.

In the air, there is no surface to detect movement and no way for the sensor to track the cursor accurately.

Some motion-sensing devices like the Nintendo Wii remote use accelerometers to track movement in 3D space

This technology is not yet advanced enough to replace traditional mice for desktop computing.
