Receiving USB mouse data over Processing

I have very (VERY) limited knowledge about Processing and programming in general, and I'm trying to use data from a USB mouse without this mouse altering the pointer's position. I will the mouse's data use for a different purpose, and I do not want it to interfere with the actual pointer.
1. How do I receive ANY USB data over Processing?
2. How can I prevent that mouse from altering the cursor's position? I thought about disabling the device directly from the Control Panel, but will this keep data from getting to Processing?
I've been using Processing for a short time and it is actually among my first approaches to programming, so please don't give me a very complex answer. Off course, this doesn't mean I'm retarded and won't understand anything at all.
