I got two like that from China for about 2 bucks each, shipping included.

Nowadays a shitty 15 cent microcontroller comes with built-in USB hardware support and you can use the manufacturer's libraries or even Arduino to make it talk as a keyboard or mouse with any computer (which doesn't even need drivers since support for it is built-in) and it's actually the mechanical stuff that's the most expensive bit.

There really is no reason or need to endure this mouse subscription shit.
