I've lived in Canada. Nine months of winter and three months of bad skating
is just a myth.

So would I, but laptops are notoriously strange and expecting strange stuff
to work flawlessly is something I've long since learned to not expect.
Unreasonable expectations are somewhat tolerated in children, not so much
in adults. Considering the goals of OpenBSD, I would not expect USB rodents,
sound cards or even video to be necessarily well supported.
If using the mouse was of prime importance, I'd use Windows and even then
I'd probably have to download drivers because Windows doesn't support it
either.

The problems are most likely due to bad hardware from Toshiba.
Toshiba has workarounds that work in (some versions of) Windows.
Very unlikely that Toshiba has workarounds that work in OpenBSD.
I don't think OpenBSD does hardware support for Toshiba.
