I know that if you are using a mouse with a ball in it, when the ball turns and moves it spins a shaft. On the end of the shaft there is a disk with usually 36 slits so that an IR beam can be picked up by an IR receiver to determine the movement of the mouse.
I have a rough understanding...

Good question!

Honestly Neel, I haven't looked closely enough at the inside of a mouse to answer that question. I think your concept is correct. As for the details, I can not say.
(This would be true for a "ball" mouse, not an "optical" mouse.)
