The help on this item is pretty clear; "CONFIG_USB_MOUSE:
Say Y here only if you are absolutely sure that you don't want to use the generic HID driver for your USB keyboard and prefer to use the keyboard in its limited Boot Protocol mode instead. This is almost certainly not what you want. This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called usbmouse.o. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. If even remotely unsure, say N." and in the Linux USB User Guide; "USB Human Interface Device (HID) Configuration General HID Configuration There are two options for using a USB mouse or a USB keyboard - the standalone Boot Protocol (HIDBP) way and the full featured HID driver way. The Boot Protocol way is generally inferior, and this document describes the full featured way. The Boot Protocol way may be appropriate for embedded systems and other systems with resource constraints and no real need for the full keyboard and mouse capabilities."
