Question Malicious software and hardware in mouse?

[Oblivion77]

Hello

I assume a mouse like Logitech G302 can hold some data? Since it autoruns software / driver, when you connect it.

1.
Can you transfer malicious software to a mouse like Logitech G302, and then use it to infect a computer with malicious software?

2.
Can you scan a mouse like Logitech G302 for malicious software etc.?

3.
Can hidden hardware in a mouse like Logitech G302 be used as cellular internet hub, and then “steal” / transfer data, without the user knowing?

I am not looking for guides / tips on how to do it.
Just wanna know if it possible, and if it is only something like the NSA could do.

Thank you

The mouse install itself, I have not noticed if it downloaded from the web
It has earlier been connected to a online system / computer

Can a Windows computer infect the Logitech G302 with virus, malware etc.?
