The design of a standard corded computer mouse represents the movement and form of that of a real mouse. The design is used for both expressive and functional purposes. The long cord not only allows for use of the device at a comfortable distance from a computer, but also reminds the user of the long tail of a mouse. The clicking sound and scrolling noise also reminds the user of the small noises a real mouse would make while scurrying around at night. The design mostly relies on the viewers own experiences or knowledge of real mice in order to recognize the similarities. There is both usefulness and charm in the design and functionality of the computer mouse.
