It appears that mice vs mouses in the computer sense is still an open issue as the Grammarist suggests in the following extract. Apparently mice is more common than mouses but both forms are used:
For the small device used to guide the cursor on a computer display, many dictionaries endorse both mice and mouses as the plural form, and few usage and style guides offer a definitive preference (exception: AP says “mice”).
We assumed mouses was standard for the computer device, but we were wrong. Searches of current news articles reveal 31 instances of “computer mice” to only seven of “computer mouses.” And on the whole web, Google finds nearly 10 million results for “computer mice” to only around 200,000 for “computer mouses.”
These ratios might be skewed by a greater tendency to use “computer” with “mice” to avoid confusion with the rodent. But this may be partially offset by instances of mouses as a simple-present verb (e.g., she mouses over the image). In any case, we can safely say that mices prevails by a large margin.

The more common usage of mice vs mouses is confirmed also by ODO:
Usage:
- Is the plural of mouse in the computing sense mice or mouses? People often feel that this sense needs its own distinctive plural, but in fact the ordinary plural mice is commoner, and the first recorded use of the term in the plural (1984) is mice
Note that the AHD lists both versions:
mouse:
- pl. mice or mous·es (mous′iz) Computers A handheld, 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.
and curiously
- the Garner’s Dictionary of Modern American Usage, prefers “mouses.” His reasoning is pretty sound: for the plural of “louse,” we use “lice” for more than one insect, but “louses” for more than one cad.
Software companies use the phrase "mouse devices" so as to avoid any confusion in plural form. But most of the Mouse Manufacturers refer them as "mice", although it is probably a case of personal preference until there is an official ruling on it.
