HSN Code for Wireless Mouse
A wireless mouse is normally classified as a part of automatic data processing machines and units. Even though it uses radio or bluetooth technology, it remains an input device for a computer. In GST, wireless mouse and wired mouse usually share the same broad HSN code.

HSN Code for Gaming Mouse
Gaming mouse models add features like adjustable DPI, extra buttons and lighting. However, they are still used as pointing devices for computers and gaming consoles, so they normally remain in the same input device heading. The higher price or brand value of a gaming mouse does not change the basic classification.
Sellers should capture the correct HSN code once at the item level in their software and then list different gaming models under that item group. This avoids mistakes when staff generate invoices during busy sales periods.
HSN Code for Computer Mouse and Other Input Devices
Computer mouse, keyboards, trackballs and similar pointing devices generally fall under the same section that covers units of automatic data processing machines. Some specialised devices used for industrial control or medical equipment may be classified separately based on their main function.
Importers should check the customs tariff description for the exact sub heading of their device, especially when the mouse is built into another machine. For normal retail sale of a separate mouse, the common input device HSN heading is usually sufficient.
Conclusion
Mouse HSN code groups wired, wireless and gaming mouse models under the broader heading for computer input devices. Most mouse products attract GST at the standard rate, so correct classification mainly helps with clean documentation and matching of purchase and sales records. Keeping one consistent HSN code for all regular mouse models makes GST compliance easier for computer shops and online sellers.
