Although the cord might have fit into the theme of your performance, I think
a neat hack you be to develop an infrared transmitter for this.  You could
emulate all three mouse buttons rather easily.  And for the more adventurous,
how about adding mouse motion.  This sounds like a good project to add
to the thousands of MIDI-interface and audio-digitizer hacks floating about.
