It's a USB mouse.  Linux doesn't care or need to know that the USB
connection to the mouse is wireless.  It's still a USB mouse.

USB keyboards can be a bit trickier.  Some of those have to have their
cryptography initialized by a proprietary windows program once before
they will work fully (or at all in the case of the BIOS and perhaps
linux).
