In my experience, a starving cat is the best solution for a squeaky mouse.

I think what Kheldron is refering to is the sound the mouse makes by itself, even when not hooked to a computer (the microswitch or whatever (I am for not tech savvy) making the sound). Even the keyboard feels like it makes an awful lot of noise when rest of the house is silent and everybody else are sleeping.

Laptops with their soft keyboards and mousepads are the solution then, even though fan of my laptop is way more noisier than on the tabletop; it's actually a lose-lose situation, but people playing blood nations in Dominions got shortest straw when trying to stay as silent as possible...

I generally prefer to kill everybody while they're sleeping and stuff their bodies in my icebox. But I guess a quiet laptop might work too. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Some mice have been known to be capable of waking up wives, with their incessant clicking noises. Perhaps you should compare to a wool-sock-ensheathed mouse with dammit-don't-click-so-loud drivers enabled from the Control Panel.

The trick is to strike the mouse in the head until it becomes mute. A death blessing helps.
