In my case, the small dongle for the mouse remains in the laptop all the
time, so not an issue.

But what you want can definitely be done.
For that, you use udev with a vendor id and product id, and the same script
as an action.

Something like the following saved to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-mouse.rules

ACTION=="add", ATTRS{vendor}=="abcd", ATTRS{model}=="1234",
"SUBSYSTEM=="usb", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/something.sh"
