The Mouse class operates in main-frame CSS pixels relative to the top-left corner of the viewport.

Every `page` object has its own Mouse, accessible with [page.mouse](api/class-page.md#pagemouse).

```js
// Using ‘page.mouse’ to trace a 100x100 square.
await page.mouse.move(0, 0);
await page.mouse.down();
await page.mouse.move(0, 100);
await page.mouse.move(100, 100);
await page.mouse.move(100, 0);
await page.mouse.move(0, 0);
await page.mouse.up();
```
