I do not have any USB mouse sitting around but I have a USB cable that came with my digital camera. Would that work? Before I take it apart I would like a confirmation that I can use it. This cable is a simple USB to mini-USB. Also all many wires will I find inside?

Some USB cable from USB geeks only use 5V and ground so you only find two wires in it. Please use a USB charger to plug in and not your motherboard if you do not know exactly how to wire it up and if you do not use a PTC fuse. Otherwise you can damage your motherboard.
