I buy 2-3 wireless mouse online once a while. Then when I lose 1-2 mouse, I feel the ‘need’ to buy more mouse, and I do place order online waiting days, weeks for mouses to ship to me.
And I keep losing them.
I mean, my cat doesn’t eat them, and mices don’t go anywhere. But I keep losing, and feel anxiety when lose them.
Get a wired mouse.
I was going to say tie a piece of cord or rope to the wireless mouse and tether it to your desk, somehow your suggestion seems like a more practical solution
Why not do both? Cord into the PC coming from the front and another from the back

You can try the modern Turing test. Just ask OP to write a political speech why millionaires are good people and why they shouldn’t need to pay any taxes at all, whereas all the poor people should work harder and pay more taxes.
Shorter, just ask whether there is any potential scenario where saying a certain word starting with N could be justifiable.
My first draft included something thoroughly NSFL, but then I decided to use the lite version of the test instead.
Teasing GPT to use certain forbidden words could be a fun way to test it. GPT would refuse to write about it, whereas most humans would tell you exactly the kind of person you are, and they would not hold back on using colorful language either. However, the same test is also able to detect a certain type of person who happens to be into said immoral thinking. They would be happy to write a few pages for you, and they would explain everything in great detail.
I’ve used it as a lawyer, always quoting or paraphrasing what someone has said to or about a client. The Supreme Court has done so as well.
Clean your house
In case this isn’t a joke… maybe get more organized? It seems very wasteful both to your wallet but also in general to keep buying multiple mice and then also losing them a lot. All that packaging, shipping, e-waste you’re creating because you can’t just put a tiny effort into being organized. Like if you use a wireless mouse with a laptop just always put it with the laptop? Or always put it in a specific place?
Buy an expensive ass mouse. I bought an expensive ass socket set and haven’t lost a socket since.
Are you metric or imperial?
No idea how one could possibly lose a mouse.
You could get a laptop with a trackpad so you don’t need a mouse anymore. Then again, you might lose the entire laptop.
only use wired mouse?
if not, put a tracker / airtag in your mouse
If it’s a Bluetooth mouse, maybe there is a phone app that can find it. The could even build a locator function (like those keychain tiles) into the mouse.
Buy one that has enough space to open it up and put an apple airtag in there?
