Exist "computer mouses"?

[Ken Kinman]

    Doofera----that's really a good one!!!   I've never seen "genuses"
either, but I have seen a lot of both "computer mice" and "computer mouses".
  I always thought computer "mice" sounded better (and easy to say), but I
would always get strange looks when I used it, so usually just avoid the
plural whenever possible.
     By the way, why isn't the plural of house spelled "hice"?  In any case,
I wouldn't say that using "genuses"  is barbaric.  That term should be
reserve for really bad things, like rape and pillaging, etc.  Which is
worse, using the term "genuses", cursing in public, or excessive honking
one's car horn.   Different people would find each irritating, but hardly
"barbaric" unless you're a Puritan.
