Mouse issues with F39 kernel 6.9.8+

Aftre the last several Fedora 39 kernel/KDE/Wayland updates, I’ve started having periodic mouse problems. It’s completely random. I have two USB mice and usually, when one starts acting weird the other one works fine when I switch them out (on the same USB port, fwiw.) Stuff like:

  • Mouse cursor is frozen on intial power up (never after a powerup reboot): Unplugging and reconnecting mouse always fixes this.

  • Mouse disconnects and reconnects to USB, resulting in a brief cursor freeze:

[43730.326986] usb 1-3.4.4: reset low-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd
[43738.040681] usb 1-3.4.4: USB disconnect, device number 9
[43738.281904] usb 1-3.4.4: new low-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd
  • Left clicking on something doesn’t register first two or three clicks.

Again swapping one mouse for the other seems to always fix whatever the glitch of the day. The glitch varies each time I update. The problem persist whether I use Wayland or Xorg.

Anyone else seeing this kind of random mouse behavior? My two mice are:

2222:3075 MacAlly Macally DotMouse
046d:c06c Logitech, Inc. Optical Mouse

Both are rather ancient.

This plus the logs about the low speed device disconnect and reconnect leads me to suggest a newer mouse.

I am using logitech trackball (mouse) MX Ergo and keyboard K350 and the receiver is registered as full speed on a usb2 port with never a disconnect/reconnect even when the system is on 24x7. (except for battery replacement in the keyboard)
