Explanation

A mouse is an input device because it sends data into the computer - moving the cursor and clicking transmit signals the CPU then acts on. Memory (RAM/ROM) is internal storage, not an I/O device. The CPU is the processing unit that executes instructions. A drive (hard drive, SSD) is a storage device, though it can be considered peripheral - it doesn't directly feed user commands the way an input device does.

Memory tip: Input devices are things you physically interact with to give the computer commands (keyboard, mouse, microphone). If you can touch it to "tell" the computer something, it's an input device.
