Interrupt Handling The mouse fires IRQ12 every time a byte is ready. We must read 3 bytes, then assemble the packet. ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) skeleton: volatile uint8_t mouse_cycle = 0; volatile uint8_t mouse_packet[4]; // We use 3 for standard volatile int mouse_x = 0, mouse_y = 0; volatile uint8_t mouse_buttons = 0; void mouse_isr() uint8_t status = inb(0x64); if (!(status & 1)) return; // No data

Your main loop can now poll mouse_x , mouse_y , and mouse_buttons . Here’s a simple console debug: 0 : -1; Enabling the Mouse mouse_send_command(0xF4); //
