Actually, I use pgtk so that emacs runs as native wayland client but I
guess that doesn't make a difference here.

AFAIK, X and wayland use libinput for device handling by default and
"libinput list-devices" knows about touchpad AND USB mouse.  Of course I
have no clue if that has any relevance wrt. emacs.
