a4tech laser mouse not working

Hello, I have no idea why my mouse is not working, the laser is detecting moves (there is for a while change to dim red when passing with finger), I have tried the cat on every device in /dev/input/... but the mouse did not respond, it is like some driver is missing??? Normal optical mouse is working without problems.

cat /proc/bus/input/devices
