Buy a basic MS mouse. Safe Mode is when only basic drivers and files are used that will be different on each PC.
Thus basic hardware and drivers is more likely to work.

To navigate a nested menu like this, use the Arrow keys. Up/Down selects items in the list, Right Arrow expand the current selection. Left Arrow backs out and collapses the list.
Works in File Explorer's navigation pane and Regedit too, and any other such menu list.
Tab can be used to cycle focus between the various parts of the app, such as the tabs, or another pane. Shift+Tab does the same, but in the reverse order.
Alt underscores a letter in each of the menu bar items Alt+(the appropriate letter) opens that menu item.
Seems to be a common problem with G502. There is another thread here (which came to nothing unfortunately...
Safe Mode: USB mouse won't work - Windows 10 Forums
Everything that you do with a mouse can be done from the keyboard with the Tab, Alt, Shift, Arrows and other keys, it's a useful skill-set to learn for emergencies such as this. Back when DOS ruled the world such keyboard shortcuts were common practice, but their use has become a lost art these days.

But if you weren't around in the days of DOS and can't cope without seeing and moving a cursor, then enable Mouse Keys.
Turn On and Off Mouse Keys in Windows 10Mouse Keys lets you control the mouse pointer by using the numeric keypad on your keyboard.
"Can't cope" is a bit...insulting. Not sure if you meant that way, but that's how it sounds.
Back in the day, I was the guy who called a number in Redmond, Washington, and had to tutor the programmer (who was supporting the new operating system) in how I set up my config.sys and autoexec.bat files. I'd think MS would be giving me royalty checks.
So, yeah, I've been around...in DOS days and before. That has little to do with Windows 10 and the registry and safe mode, wouldn't you agree?
Will Repair install work if my computer is running v1709 (build 16299.309) but my ISO is v1709 (build 16299.15)?
The fact that Device Manager in Safe Mode has NO listing for mice is, to me, an issue which needs to be rectified. I'd think a Repair Install could do that?
