... that may be true if you rely on something like hotplug to load the
mousedev module (or whichever one is behind /dev/input/mice), but if you
load that unconditionally (e.g. by putting it into /etc/modules),
/dev/input/mice works whether a mouse is connected or not. Not to
mention that /dev/input/mice isn't only for USB mice but the trackpad as
well.
