So how do you say the plural of computer mouse?

Two computer mice?

Two computer mouses?

Two computer meeces?

none of them sound right when said out loud......

I think I may be losing the plot........

If using a track ball on an aircraft, be very careful - the cabin crew tend to get a bit upset when crawling on the floor searching for my red marble ball.

I recently had to buy a new mouse and went in the computer shop.

They were on the shelf headed "mice". It didn't sound quite right
