You want /dev/input/mice, that will do for the mice exactly what you want for
the keyboards (no idea about those BTW).


Let me add a few comments to your XF86Config:

This is a historical example on how to disable the DGA extension. You probably
don't want that though, I suggest replacing this with just Load "extmod".

For Apple keyboards, "XkbModel" "macintosh" might be better.

This will only cover the first pointer device, probably the trackpad.
/dev/input/mice will combine the input of all attached pointer devices.
