No - use /dev/input/mice - the hiddev interface isn't "mouse-like" - it is intended to support anything from keyboards to mice to joysticks to robotics.

/dev/input/mice is "mouse-like" - the data format is mouse data packets. It also has the advantage that any mouse-like thing plugged into USB gets funnelled into /dev/input/mice. As a result, you can plug three mice, two track balls, and a sketch-pad with a pen into your USB port, and they will all control the pointer.
