mouse o raton
 
Is it better to say mouse or ratón in Spanish wehn talking about a computer mouse ... help? :cool:

I've heard and seen both used, sometimes in the same sentence. El mouse o el ratón se usa igual.

If possible, I would check with your audience to see which they prefer. If not possible, say both words when you're introducing the device and then make an executive decision as to which of the two words you'll use thereafter.

I agree with Rusty.
Both are know and used, I usually use ratón, but in a place where a lot of people understand english perhaps mouse it's a better option.
saludos :D
