    Well, yes... Of course.

    You could work your way through the USB spec and the HID spec
    (available from usb.org), then maybe read the USB documentation
    available from Microsoft... Or you could just cut to the chase and
    look at sample code available from Microchip or Cypress; they both
    have reference-design code and appnotes for USB mice and keyboards. 

    Google might be helpful, too, although it may be difficult to
    construct a search that ignores reviews of and advertisements for
    USB mice.

    Right.  Her website (http://www.lvr.com) has plenty of information,
    too.
