Disabling a specific mouse?

Hello everyone, 

I hope this is not too far off-topic. In my X setup, I am currently
using the classic /dev/input/mice device along with the "mouse" driver
to get simple access to any hotplugged USB mouse.

However, there are now situations where two other mice are connected
which should _not_ be used by X to control the core pointer (they are
accessed through /dev/input/event* for some different purpose).

What would be the easiest way to achieve this? I guess it might be
possible using the new Xinput, but I was hoping that there might also be
a solution using Udev or hotplug?

Many thanks in advance,
Yours, Florian
