Most new Mice actually show under Human Interface Devices instead of Mice area,. The mouse are is more for legacy devices which expect that area to exist
Mine shows in HID.

I expect Microsoft want to stop using device manager eventually and have it all in the settings menu.

I have 4 "mice" in there but only 1 mouse, some keyboards also have mouse controls as it can be in a macro command. That would be my reasoning for duplicates.
