NOTE: Mouse testing is on hold. For now, just sort the mice according to the Mouse Sorting instructions.

is the mouse very dirty, if so recycle it.
Plug a PS/2 or USB mouse into the mousetester
if open office writer is not open open it.
does the pointer on the screen move around when you move the mouse, if no recycle.
do the buttons work? if no recycle.
if there is a scroll does it work? if no recycle.

The mouse tester needs the mousedev, usbmouse, psmouse modules loaded.
I'm not sure if it properly detects all scroll mice (or even most), so keep scroll mice and test them separately if they don't work.

Serial get recycled
PS/2
- Pack 2 button into a box, lable with quantity and type, put in bulk area
- Pack 3 button into a box, lable with quantity and type, put in bulk area
- Pack scroll button into a box and send them to build
USB go to the store
touchpad, trackball or optical go to the store
