|Yes, but it would be pointless since the GS comes with a mouse that works

Incorrect.  Unless there has been a change in the AppleMouse // card or mouse,
The AppleMouse // will only work with its card, or attached to the MOUSE/JOYSTICK
port on the Apple //c(+).

The Apple //gs comes with its owne ADB mouse (the same mouse as on the Mac SE and 
Mac][.

If you want to get a mouse for your Apple //e now, you'll have to get the 
AppleMouse //. When you get an Apple //gs, It will come with a mouse, so you won't
need to keep you AppleMouse // if you get rid of your Apple //e.
