Abstract
A mouse for a computer having a longitudinal slot formed in a side wall of the mouse body through which the mouse cable passes to the computer. The guide slot is notched along one edge with rounded grooves for removably receiving a connector of the mouse cable and thereby selectively adjusting the connected position of the cable at the side wall of the mouse in accordance with the size and configuration of the hand of a user. A pointer in the form of an arrow extends forwardly at the front of the mouse to enable the mouse to precisely follow an original which is to be copied on a screen of the computer.
