This is going to be extremely off-topic, but I'm just too terribly curious: the company mandated the use of the mouse? Do you mean that figuratively, as in your tasks were a lot harder to do without a mouse or did they actually make you use one for something like RSI concerns?
It was regulations, same ones that mandate the use of a five wheels chair with armrests. I remember we had to connect the laptop to a monitor and a mouse. I don't remember if we had a docking station and a keyboard too.
