Mice come in a wide variety of shapes, styles, colors, connectors, etc. The traditional mouse (top right) is the most common.  If you shop around however, you will probably find a non-traditional mouse that more suits you.  There are "Trackball" mice that are stationary, and therefore, take less desk space.  There are touchpad mice (my personal favorite) that are stationary, and can perform some very neat tricks, like tap-to-click, or slide-scrolling.

Like keyboards, mice use many different connectors, like USB, serial, and PS/2.  If you find the mouse you like but it has the connector you don't, just find the correct adapter.

The bottom left is a "Presenter's Mouse".  It is used most often with data projectors to give multi-media presentations (like PowerPoint).
