Does the mouse normally attach as what appears to be a USB port?  If so
the problem is likely here:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211884

The mouse is attached to the host via usb (wireless).  
Unlike PR211884 there is not any problem with mouse operation once the 
mouse is captured by the guest.  It is only mouse integration which appears
to be affected.
