Well, it can't, because the mouse doesn't look at the keyboard.
What did look at the keyboard was the real-mode mouse driver
software installed on MS-DOS.
On this note, notice that increasingly often, keyboards, mice,
etc. that one buys in stores like Best Buy are designed with
the assumption that one is going to use them with Windows, so
they include all sorts of features that DO NOT WORK under other
OSes.  Be forewarned.
