You might be able to make it work with a USB mouse and a "KVM" switch. (One of the cheap ones that just does USB, instead of an expensive one that also does video switching.)

Here, I'm guessing that the USB mouse could be a "wireless" third-party mouse that is paired with a proprietary USB plug receiver. No Bluetooth mice (like the Magic Mouse) invited to this party, though.
