    Do they generate events at all? Look at the raw input device to see. Commented Dec 12, 2017 at 5:37

    How? Is it xev and press the corresponding buttons? Commented Dec 12, 2017 at 5:44

    @Turgon try with evtest too... (lsinput will help you find the right device.) Commented Dec 12, 2017 at 6:45
  • In addition to evtest, look at the new lines in dmesg after you connect the mouse and/or the controller (you didn't say what kind of mouse it is). If there's a hidraw device, look at that. There was some other question where it turned out the Logitech wireless controller produces two HID devices, and some mouse events end up on one, some on the other. Maybe try to find that question for details. Commented Dec 12, 2017 at 11:09

    @Turgon I know it's been a long time, but where you able to resolve this issue? I have the exact same problem (I need to re-connect the mouse to make it work) Commented Apr 22, 2022 at 6:24
