Disclosed is an optical mouse which can move a cursor on a display screen of a computer system by totally reflecting light, which is emitted from a light source and is reflected upon a surface after transmitting a glass, using a prism and varying a light path to condense the light on a light-receiving lens so as to allow an optical sensor to sense an image. The optical mouse includes a light source for emitting light, an irradiating lens for irradiating the light emitted from the light source to a surface, a light-receiving lens for condensing light irregularly reflected upon the surface in the light emitted from the light source and irradiated through the irradiating lens, a total reflection prism for allowing the light emitted from the light source and irradiated through the irradiating lens to be located on a path where totally reflected light upon the surface advances, after transmitting a transparent material such as a glass, and reflecting incident light through a reflecting surface to be condensed on the light-receiving lens, and an optical sensor for sensing the light condensed through the light-receiving lens.
