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...

IIRC a mouse uses a fairly simple interrupter. The Vishay IR receiver modules have a more complex integrated receiver that handles pulse bursts of a specified frequency and use AGC, a bandpass filer, and a demodulator to produce a very stable output pulse train. Interference is not an issue inside a (mechanical) mouse. It's a big issue for remote controls.
