OS X

PsychHID assigns each USB HID device connected to you computer a unique
index. GetMouseIndices returns the indices for those HID devices which
are mouses. The product names of the mouses are returned in a second
argument which is useful to identify the mouse associated with a
paticular index. For complete information on a gampad use
PsychHID('Devices').

LINUX

GetMouseIndices allows selection of different types of pointing devices
via the optional 'typeOnly' argument:
'masterPointer' will only return indices of so called "master pointer"
devices. These correspond to visible mouse cursors.

WINDOWS

GetMouseIndices works as on OS X.
