1. A retractable cable mouse, comprising: a casing having a sliding groove, wherein said sliding groove is located at a lower portion of said casing, and has a perforation, wherein said perforation is located at an end of said casing; a cable reel member disposed within said casing, wherein when said cable reel member is in a storing status, said cable reel member provides a pulling force; a connector coupled with said cable reel member, and selectively stored within said sliding groove or protruded outside said sliding groove, wherein when said connector is protruded outside said sliding groove, said connector is permitted to be plugged into a computer system, wherein said connector has an operating part exposed outside said perforation, wherein by moving said operating part, said connector is removable from said sliding groove; a sliding member disposed within said sliding groove and located beside said connector, wherein said sliding member is movable within said sliding groove; and an elastic element for providing an elastic force to said sliding member, wherein a first end of said elastic element is in contact with said sliding member, and a second end of said elastic element is coupled with a terminal edge of said sliding groove, wherein when said cable reel member is in said storing status, said connector is sustained against said sliding member in response to said pulling force, so that said sliding member is moved to a first position of said sliding groove and said connector is stored within said sliding groove, wherein when said cable reel member is in a releasing status, said sliding member is moved to a second position of said sliding groove in response to said elastic force, so that said perforation is blocked by a front end of said sliding member.
