I've always done what Peachey suggests, and use "mouses" for the plural form of the computer mouse and "mice" for the plural form of the animal. I don't think I've seen "mice" used to refer to the plural of the computer mouse.

A quick check tells us it can be either. :) However, if you prefer to use "mice" for the animal and "mouses" for the device, then that might make things clearer for you.
