I was going thru ebay and I browsed gaming mices I could buy and I came across this one mouse that I liked
People say you need to download a driver from the site to change the color so I wanted to know if there is anyone here with experience from that company and can tell me if the drivers are malicious.

-Thanks!

The mouse:Amazon.com: NPET V30 RGB Backlit Gaming Mouse,High-Precision Programmable,Professional Ergonomic Wired Gaming Mice for PC/Laptop/Desktop/Computer.: Computers & Accessories

site to download drivers from: Motospeed

No, I meant the drivers.
The drivers can have Malware or rootkit on them.

Same thing, you can download the drivers to your PC and then upload the files to VT in order to check if they are clean.
The drivers are probably a few months old, so AVs signatures should be trustworthy.

Very probably. Please make sure to create a system image backup before installing just in case something goes wrong.
Yeah, but when I uploaded the file virustotal before I pressed reanalyse it said "1/61"
and now it says "0/60" should I be worried about this or just trust the site?

Probably just a false positive that was patched.
I think you should be fine. Having the possibility to roll back gives you peace of mind.

I wouldn't be concerned. As brod56 said, that single detection, would have been a false positive that has since been fixed.
