Normal would be that a mouse has a driver assigned, such as usbhid,
and sane-find-scanner should leave it alone.  I could not get  
sane-find-scanner
to list my mouse even after I put the vendor and product numbers in
sane.d/genesys.conf.  Perhaps there is an incorrect vendor/product entry
in the *.conf files that you have?

libusb is able to communicate with almost any usb device.
