Mouses shaped like G100?

Considering the computer mouse got its name from resembling a mouse, the plural is still mice. Either way it doesn't matter though, because everyone knows what you are talking about. Corrections to grammar and spelling are pointless and only focuses on the irrelevant.

When referring to the rodent it is mice, however when referring to the device used to manipulate the cursor on a computer it is mouses.

The online Oxford Dictionaries entry for mouse states the plural for the small rodent is mice, while the plural for the small computer connected device is either mice or mouses. However, in the usage section of the entry it states that the more common plural is mice, and that the first recorded use of the term in the plural is mice as well (though it cites a 1984 use of mice when there were actually several earlier ones).[2] The term mice was seen in print in "The Computer as a Communication Device", written by J. C. R. Licklider in 1968.
The fourth edition of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language endorses both computer mice and computer mouses as correct plural forms for computer mouse. Some authors of technical documents may prefer either mouse devices or the more generic pointing devices. The plural mouses treats mouse as a "headless noun".
