I bought a pack of cheap pencil sharpeners like these: eBay item 281923645269 in a local dollar store. What is the little wheel inside the pencil sharpener for ?

The wheel is in its own compartment separate from the one with the sharpening blade. The wheel is completely enclosed inside the sharpener. It doesn't make the sharpener into any kind of rolling toy.

Maybe they were computer mouse cases that didn't make the grade.

Could be something for people to fidgit with when they are stuck on hold.

Either someone over estimated the weight of "lead" or it's supposed to look like a computor mouse. I think they could be
old stock.

It is pure novelty. Those sharpeners are supposed to look like a computer mouse nothing more nothing less.
