Honestly English is pretty fucky in this situation

If you say "you are not bad because you have a shitty mouse"

it is ambiguous.  Either I am "Not bad - and the reason is because I have a 
shitty mouse (which I admit doesn't make much sense)  or I am bad but it is 
not because I have a shitty mouse. (Which is obviously what you meant)

You could say " You are not 'not good because you have a shitty mouse'" and 
the punctuation could help, but saying not twice in a row is uber gay.

If I were revising I would change it to:

You suck and it has nothing to do with your stupid fucking mouse, you 
pathetic piece of stupid shit.

This is far clearer and lacks the original ambiguity
