Wireless mouse shows up under `lsusb` list but doesn't control the cursor. Expected behavior: The mouse controls the cursor. Background: I purchased a "Mini 2.4 GHz Wireless Optical Mini Finger Mouse Mice For Laptop PC Computers" (https://www.ebay.com/itm/283656756166) and plugged it into my laptop. Although this mouse appears under lsusb, it does not control the cursor. Other usb mice work, but not this one. Uniquely, this mouse uses a wireless dongle and some form of laser tracking, while my other peripherals are 'ordinary': a wired laster mouse and usb wired keyboard.
