The correct module is almost never usbmouse. More likely mousedev

It is important to get the order correct. If you have no other modules
installed, modprobe mousedev would probably get it right, but there's
usb-uhci (or uhci_hcd or other alternative depending on speed and
manufacturer and kernel version), usbcore, usbhid, evdev and input that need
to be installed
