That won't make any difference - it will say "no such device".
Both devices are created by the same input subsystem mouse driver. That driver
is loaded (because /dev/input/mice was able to be opened), but there is no
underlying USB support for the input subsystem. Input subsystem support was
made configurable in -pre9, and if you don't select that option, then the hid
parser directs the output to /dev/usb/hiddevX.
