Can a Wireless Mouse Have a Virus?

I recently purchased a wireless mouse online. However, the mouse is coming from a 3rd party. Such as imagine buying it from amazon with 3rd party or through ebay.

Im now wondering... is there a chance a wireless mouse could possibly have virus? Because im wondering if i should order the mouse again on best buy or through amazon again if they have it in stock? Or is this something that one should not worry about.

No

Definitely not possible.

Viruses require a storage or memory device - - a PC mouse is neither of those.

Also on a related question. Let say the mouse you bought was new but it was actually refurbished. Or let say you bought a refurbished mouse. If you did, wouldn't that mean there is a possible chance the mouse could infect your computer etc? Or if the mouse came shipped to you but it came without the box as in original packaging. Would you say its best to not use that mouse for security reasons etc?


Well i googled and read about mousejack. So are you sure not 100 percent?
