I am sure you mean /dev/ttyS0 not /dev/tty0

It depends on where your mouse is actualy connected too and quite possably
what type of mouse it is.

USB mice do not normally connect to a seriel port, they connect to a USB
port, some USB mice can even be connected to a PS2 port when a USB to PS2
plug is used.

Not knowing what type of mouse you have and or where it needs to be connected
one cannot really comment, on top of all that one needs to know which
protocol it uses as well because it all depends on where its connected.
