But the USB one is going to be identified as a mouse (input device), you can even change the hardware id to be the same as the work mouse no?

USB devices have a hard coded vendor identifier and product identifier built into them that are issued from a central authority. The ones I saw were easily identifiable as not legitimate mice.

I know but you can change it, I think, at least in the bad usb devices that we use for red team
