The following is a letter that I received from sm.luth.se!d89-ahg 
(Anders Hedberg).  The letter is in response to my comment about it not 
being good to disconnect power and ground from a circuit (the mouse
or joystick) without also disconnecting the other signal lines. 


] Hello! I have seen this discussion for a while but I haven't been able to
] write this to the newsgroup.

] I've built a switchbox that disconnects the power and ground lines to the
] mouse when I wanna use the joystick, and it has worked over 9 months by
] now.
] Any questions? Email me!

] Please write the above in the newsgroup! Comment it with some warnings
] if you want to...

No warnings - You could very well get away with this.  Personally I don't
think it's worth the risk.
