if u mean computer mice, then the plural is the same as the singular.
if u mean the mammal, then mouse is singular and mice is plural

I prefer mouses over mice, for the computer pointing device, but I'm not sure if there is an actual standard.

Just as long as people know what you’re talking about. Right?  Though, that’ll get you in trouble in a formal situation…
I thin if you go to the ‘Control Panel’ then ‘Mouse’, there might be a wheel setting.
And if you’re running some separate mouse software (eating valuable resources) then run that program’s setup/options thingy-ma-jigger  <-- highly technical you know -_-
