Does “mice” as plural form for (computer) mouse ring right?
I know it must be mice, but to say “I have three old mice in my drawer” can scare people away from rummaging into my stuff to, say, borrow a spare 🙂

It can be either. I prefer to say mice.
See reference below:
“pl. mice or mous·es (mous’ĭz) Computer Science A hand-held, button-activated input device that when rolled along a flat surface directs an indicator to move correspondingly about a computer screen, allowing the operator to move the indicator freely, as to select operations or manipulate text or graphics”.
