Neither. "MOUSE," in this context is an acronym for "manually operated user-select equipment." The generally accepted plural of "computer mouse" is "computer mouse devices" or any other such wording that avoids directly pluralizing the word "mouse."

The word "mice" is commonly used for rodents. Many dictionaries support "mouses," "googling," "yahooing" and etc with English evolving as a language. If you walk into an electronics store and are in need of assistance, you can ask a worker: "Where are your computer mouses?" And not, "Where are your computer mices?"

Last night my 15yo mouse died😕 I went on the Internet to the largest computer company in our town and looked up what they offered. There it was "COMPUTER MICE". Today I went in and bought a new Logitech mouse. On the box they state Logitech is "WORLD LEADER IN MICE"! Yeah well, what do I say? I actually feel that you both were right!
