I wonder a bit, because this is a very new machine, and the mouse-receiver had been plugged in the same plug since beginning and worked until few days ago...
So, for the moment it seems solved...
jfyi: I have a new dell XPS 8950 and if I plug the mouse-receiver into the rear of the box, I have problems moving the mouse similar to a very low battery. move the receiver to front of the box and no problems. ??
Contact or distance problem. The USB-socket may be faulty. Plug in and remove the receiver a few times, that should clean the electrical contacts.
Distance: Plug the receiver into a USB-extension cord which is connected to the rear USB-socket hold it close to the mouse and check whether the problem persists when the mouse is moved.
I have a trackball mouse, the ball has to be occasionally taken out and the ball seat cleaned.
I too and same problem with dust/mites...
and is the mouse sensor clean?
yes, and the usb-receiver is also and the usb plug on computer. possibly an rf blockage/interference. fwiw, no usb port on rear of the computer works satisfactory, but front does. and other usb devices work fine from rear ports. only problem with mouse. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
