I would like to know if it is possible to put software on a normal USB to make it function like one of the ASIC bitcoin miners. If this is possible, how would I do it? (I am also a bit of a noob when it comes to bitcoin so yeah)

In a word, No. First off, you don't define what a normal USB is. I'm assuming you mean a memory stick. If so, that is all it is, storage, no processing power.

I want to mine with my USB Mouse.

I'm still waiting for the day when some company starts inserting BTC ASICs into their keyboards or external HDDs or something, and including a BTC miner in their "driver".
Tips? 1crazy8pMqgwJ7tX7ZPZmyPwFbc6xZKM9
