This mean that the driver ums (USB mouse driver) is loaded to control your 
mouse

man ums

should be

moused -d -f -p /dev/ums0 -t auto

man moused

if you see output, mean it work in FreeBSD, if the microsoft mouse doesn't 
produce a line in dmesg, mean that there is not a driver for your mouse.

I read some where about a new work in CURRENT, to make a new framework for the 
mouse.

I didn't see any line about moused, but that is because your mouse is USB and 
moused is loaded by devd

to see how is invoked moused

ps axw | grep mouse

To use "Device" "/dev/sysmouse", "moused" should be loaded, if not, the device 
should be "/dev/ums0"
