This sounds like a configuration issue. If the mouse is indeed using
7n1 and the converter is expecting 8n1 you could end up with bit 7
always set on input.

Can you verify that the converter is configured correctly, for example,
by reading out the termios settings, enabling debugging and/or
connecting it to another serial port configured for 7n1?
