Serial Mouse Port?

I think you mean USB or Serial Port, both of which you can handle in the same way using the SerialPort class.

Be aware though, that this means two things:
1) You will no longer have multi-drop. I.e. One machine, one port. You cannot connect two or more machines to a single port in the same way that you can with a network.
2) You will have to provide the full communications system yourself - Sockets and so forth are very, very unlikely to work. This will mean major changes in the software for your PC and machine.
