Describe the solution you'd like Designing a new icon or utilizing one from another theme
Existing work
The humanity icon theme has a design that could be used.
Describe alternatives you've considered Switching the icon theme to something else
Additional context I've filed this bug downstream with Xubuntu's default icon theme as well. https://github.com/shimmerproject/elementary-xfce/issues/214

I believe the current mouse icon falsely implies likeness to the Apple Magic Mouse, which is an uncommon mouse that most users are not familiar with. I do think there should be a better mouse icon, one that is simple and easy for all users to understand without association to a certain brand.
I agree. Are you going to try to design one? If not, I'll be looking into it.
Furthermore, I'd like to add that this particular icon in the system settings also uses an Apple Magic Mouse.
I agree. Are you going to try to design one? If not, I'll be looking into it.
Please go ahead and do so, while we await for the elementary team.

Elementary Human Interface Guidelines #Iconography
@Fatih20 is that a top view of a mouse, as i'm not seeing it. Did you check the elementary HIG, as i'm not sure that the shadow at the bottom would be something that would be suitable.

Yes it is. No, that's not the shadow, that's just part of the mouse.
