[Bug 1442549] Re: Mouse randomly stops working

 

It  behaves the same with the latest kernel.

However, it's most likely a hardware error.

I bought a new mouse - the samel model and it works fine while the old
one still randomly disconnects.


I also found an explanation for the error:

> "most probably it’s a result of hardware failure rather than a driver
or kernel bug. USB has an over-current protection, which gets triggered
when power consumption from the port is too high."

https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=5423.0

I noticed that one workaround is to connect the mouse via a USB hub - in
that case the mouse reconnects immediately so it's unresponsive only for
one or two seconds. This is probably not good for the hardware, I do not
recommend this solution.

  from my Logitech G500 mouse.

  Reconnecting to the same USB port doesn't help. When this happened to
  me, the mouse was connected to usb 1-1.2. When reconnecting to usb
  1-1.2 or usb 1-1.1 the mouse still seems dead (its lights are on
  though) and dmesg says:

  When reconnecting to usb 2-1.2 or usb 2-1.1 the mouse works fine.
  Dmesg output:

  This makes me think that it's probably not my mouse dying? Or could it
  still be the case? It's around 3 or 4 years old so I wouldn't be too
  surprised.
