What is the use case?

How can this be tested?  As far I know neither the edk2 setup utility
(aka UiApp) nor typical OS boot loaders have mouse support ...

Also note that virtual machines typically do *not* have a mouse but a
tablet device, so UsbMouseAbsolutePointerDxe looks like the more
sensible choice to me.

What about the other ovmf variants?

take care,
