A big NO. Wireless mouse is nothing but a junk of hardware.It cannot be hacked or anything.If you suspect that pointer on the screen is not working properly or moving on its own its probably due to virus on your harddisk whose source is not WIRELESS MOUSE.

This answer is false. Better go read up on USB device security as there is an exploit to use the USB firmware of the device (that little wireless dongle you plug into your machine to use the mouse) so that it can breach your network.

You can find out more about this exploit at infoworld dot com by doing a search for yes-even-mouse-can-infect-your-network-967
