Have you read the USB documentation that is included in the kernel
source tree?  Look in Documentation/DocBook/usb and writing_usb_driver
(but the writing file is a bit out of date.)

Also, the third edition of Linux Device Drivers (free online) has a
whole chapter all about USB that you should look at.

And, the kernel already has 2 USB mice drivers in it, you might want to
not duplicate the work that has aready been done, and just use and/or
look at them.

good luck,
