Could be both, to be honest. I’ve seen old mouses where the ears were on the buttons, and others where the tail is the cable
Comment on Which way round is a wired computer mouse?
Eavolution@kbin.social 10 months agoI absolutely am, but they must have been named after regular mice, so idk what way it was originally envisaged.

mouses Mice.
But I know what you mean. Feels like computer mice should be its own word with its own plural formfloppy@rabbitea.rs 10 months ago
Apparently mouses is correct for computer mice but I don’t subscribe to that train of thought at all.

The first computer mouse was apparently more of a block.
I imagine it got its name from the ‘tail’ part, and the fact that it now looks mouse-like is mostly a co-incidence of it now being more ergonomically shaped.
