When speaking of the plural for a computer mouse, is it mice or mouses?

Or mouse? Or something else?

The sign within the Staples said mice, but I think that's wrong...

When speaking of the plural for a computer mouse, is it mice or mouses?

(plural mice or mouses)



So, I guess, any :)



"Mice" and "mouses"

The fourth (current as of 2006) edition of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language endorses both computer mice and computer mouses as correct plural forms for computer mouse. The form mice, however, appears most commonly, while some authors of technical documents may prefer the form mouse devices. The plural mouses treats mouse as a "headless noun", as discussed within the English plural article.
It is mice, though I freak my niece out and call them meeces
Hi. Most folks lone use one mouse, so Mouse A and mouse B might work. The term comes from the path it looks, a body with a tail. I don't know where on earth wireless mice come in :-)
