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

Is this an AI post?
no bro I am real human, with my hand typing on real keyboard.
I am reading your comment with my real eyes, on my screen. Then I think. It took me 4 minutes 23 seconds to think. Then I use my hand to move my mouse to reply text to click on reply. Then I type on my keyboard this message.
This comment is very human
At least you still have your mouse....

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.
It is easy.
Millionaires pay less tax percentage because they have money, which they can buy political power in bulk and use them to reduce their tax. Poor people don't have available budget to access lawyer service and/or buy political power to reduce their tax percentage.
It is more effiency for poor people to pay their tax in full.
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?
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.
check the cushions
the one in my bedroom likes to hide under the bed and pretend to be a large dust bunny, or floof ball from my birds
Buy one that has enough space to open it up and put an apple airtag in there?

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
