Quote:

A hand-held, button-activated input device that when rolled along a flat surface directs an indicator to move correspondingly about a computer screen, allowing the operator to move the indicator freely, as to select operations or manipulate text or graphics.

There are plenty more sources that say "mouses" is correct, but I guess anyone that uses dictionary.com must be a moron. I think people who put extra letters like u's where they don't belong (as in colour and honour) are morons too.
