Abstract

A wireless computer mouse receiver (1) having an exterior body (2) of sufficient predetermined vertical height to improve line-of-sight reception from a wireless mouse (5). Preferably the exterior body (2) would replicate the original World Trade Center prior to the terrorist attacks on Sep. 11, 2001 with a north tower (14) and a south tower (15). The wireless computer mouse receiver (1) is used in conjunction with a wireless mouse (5) capable of transmitting at least one signal (10), which may be radio frequency, laser or other types of signals (10). A means for receiving the signal (8) from the wireless mouse (5) is located on the wireless computer mouse receiver (1).
