Mouse events in JavaScript provide developers with the ability to capture user interactions, such as clicks, mouse movements, and button presses. Using event listeners like mousedown, you can determine which mouse button was clicked—left, right, or scroll button—by accessing the event.button property. Additionally, mouse events can provide the x and y coordinates of the click, measured in pixels relative to the top-left corner of the page or the visible area using pageX, pageY, clientX, and clientY.

These mouse events have practical applications, such as implementing custom context menus, interactive games, or dynamic interfaces. Developers can capture clicks anywhere on the page using document.body.addEventListener, and they can further customize functionality by checking for modifier keys like Alt, Ctrl, or Command during a mouse event. These features offer a wide range of possibilities for enhancing user interaction in web applications.
