Mouse Rage...

Mouse rage is a particular type of computer rage. It is a behavioural response provoked by failure or unexpected results observed when using a computer. In particular, this is expressed by focusing the negative emotion incurred by the event on a computer mouse. In severe cases, mouse rage can result in the total destruction or major loss of functionality in the computer mouse.

The reaction can be provoked by hardware or software events. One common cause of mouse rage is in the use of the internet, where the website being visited may be to slow or badly designed causing the user to wait unreasonably or not find the information sought. Other causes include hardware that has ceased working or cannot be configured, through to major data corruption in an ERP system.

Mouse rage is sometimes referred to as "Mouse Rage Syndrome" or MRS.
