Wireless mouse falter

csanyipal · 2014-10-08 09:43:44

Hello,

I just buy a "Shark RF10" wireless USB 2.0 optical mouse.

It works but the mouse pointer falter.

So practically I can't to use it.

Is this behavior matter of some kind of setup, or not?

Regards, from Pal

Have you tried it on any other computer (or OS)? If it works on Windows, for example, then its a setup problem, otherwise its a mouse problem.

It works on Windows 7 or 8.
It doesn't work on my arch linux operating system.

It's a wireless USB mouse. Does it mean that tha it is a bluetooht mice?

Does it have a dongle (a USB stick that you have to put in your computer for it to work)?

So I'm stuck at the step:

# bluetoothctl
 [bluetooth]# list

No output is on bash shell. Why? What can I do further to solve this problem?

2 things:

* If you have a wireless receiver, then Linux might see 2 devices, so it would help to clarify the device to use.

* Disable USB auto-suspend, which seems to have a habit of messing up mice, especially cheap ones.

Yeah, what type of mouse do you have (its name)? Cause I dont beleive that you have a bluetooth mouse, just a normal wireless one.

I don't know if it is related, but yesterday my Logitech G500 (which is wired) had the cursor constantly moving to the right side of the screen. It only did that in my maintenance installation of Arch.

Its definitely not Bluetooth. So playing around with bluetooth will do nothing, its just wireless. I am still not sure why it falters. Did you try what Brebs said?

I didn't understand this part.

Try to analyze the end of the output of dmesg *after* inserting your USB dongle. Post it here.

This is when I disconnect the USB cable mouse:
[ 1630.307180] usb 2-6: USB disconnect, device number 4
[ 1660.204160] usb 2-3: USB disconnect, device number 2

This is when I connect the USB dongle:
[ 1671.523224] usb 2-3: new low-speed USB device number 5 using ohci-pci
[ 1671.929286] input: 2.4G Wireless Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.0/0003:04F3:0601.0002/input/input11
[ 1671.929573] hid-generic 0003:04F3:0601.0002: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [2.4G Wireless Mouse] on usb-0000:00:0b.0-3/input0

So I think this indicates that that this is a wireless mice but not a bluetooth mice, right?

I did try to run the following script:

for d in /sys/bus/usb/devices/[0-9]* ; do if [[ -e $d/product ]] ; then echo -e "`basename $d`\t`cat $d/power/control`\t`cat $d/speed`\t`cat $d/product`" ; fi ; done

and get the informations:
2-3 on 1.5 2.4G Wireless Mouse

I tried also this:

xinput --list

Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
↳ 2.4G Wireless Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)]

Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ UVC Camera (046d:0808) id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]

so I think this is not the case when I must to clarify the device to use, right?
