I do not want to bother too much but if you are looking for an USB device there is a really wide choice, even the humble AVR could work out as a low-speed device via SW bit-banging with V-USB. Going for bigger processors one very handy was the NXP's LPC1343, small, fast and easy, but it only one of manyWhat it really needs -- and this probably would be helpful to the wider retro-computing community -- is for someone to find a microcontroller with USB host on-board, E2PROM and a sufficient number of GPIO pins to implement a sort of "universal solution"
I do not get it. That device should connect to an USB mouse and receive serial commands as to return the X and Y position? If this is the case then the thing should be an host, because the mouse is a device, then it will be able to read the coordinates (of the deltas, mice only return delta coordinates, is the host that integrates the data and keeps updated the position) and send them out as requested, serial if wanted or otherwise.A pair of registers holding X and Y co-ordinates updated by a USB mouse, which can be interrogated by sending serial commands up the keyboard port
