According to the PC Dictionary it is "mice." For your reference: PC Dictionary. However it has also been said that because it is a name it is "mouses."

Without a doubt the plural of compute mouse is: MOUSES

MOUSE is an acronym, and is short for Manually-Operated User-Selection Equipment so technically MOUSE is already the plural (... Equipments?) Most people, however pluralise acronyms, and initials in general, by adding a small s, so it would be MOUSEs, which seems a bit silly. Mice is also wrong, as it doesn't stand for anything, but it does make more grammatical sense than calling them MOUSE or MOUSEs. (NB: If a MOUSE was so called because it looked like the animal, then mice would be correct, but that isn't the case, although small body, long tail, who knows...)


Yeah i'm sure you don't want to read that but yeah
its mouses.
:]
