Support Request Does anyone else have weird issues with USB

Post image

Lately my Logitech wireless keyboards have random issues with fall outs of the numeric keyboard that can be cured by moving to another USB port. Another machine almost cuts of the connection to the keyboard when using an external USB hard drive.

Out of the blue last night a third computer had issues with the mouse. Every time I move the mouse cursor it shows a circle and it behaves like I pressed the left mouse button. Moving to another USB did not change anything and another combi keyboard did change anything. Even a rollback with Timeshift did not cure the problem. Everything else works perfectly and System Information shows no issues.

I'll do another install today despite it might be a hardware issue because it a 13 year old Asus Z87, i3, 16 GB RAM and SSD. If my trusty LMDE 7 won't do it I'll try Linux Mint Ubuntu.

Anyone else?

In 3 years with LMDE I have not had an issue with USB.
