That would mean that, with "just" that mouse on USB (and perhaps a keyboard), the installer wouldn't try to yell at Gene anymore. Is this so, Gene? You don't have to follow through with the installation, mind you: just going so far as to ascertain whether it starts in "vision impaired" mode; OTOH I'd accept that your curiosity is limited at this point. AFAIK, and having had a look at the Linux USB ID repo [1], where vendor and ID are alright (the clear text part in the lsusb output also confirms that), I'd exculpate that mouse. My main hypothesis (that the installer at some point (mis-)identified some widget hanging off the USB as a device a vision impaired person would have had and helpfully switching to audio mode) stays.
