openSUSE 42.1 used kernel version 4.1.12 and the mouse worked perfectly. After upgrading to 42.3 (kernel 4.4.85), the mouse does not work. I do not see any bugs that seem relevant to this issue. The plugging and unplugging events are seen on the usb bus and the device enumerates, as seen by usb-devices. $ lsusb Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 011 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 010 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 002: ID 03f0:0e2a Hewlett-Packard Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 009 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 008 Device 003: ID 046d:c245 Logitech, Inc.

I have two such hubs, both fail. There is a related discussion on the usb-devices email list. Subject: Re: USB mouse All the /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/2u activity looks normal when the mouse is plugged and unplugged, but evtest on the proper event device (/dev/input/eventXX) shows no activity when the mouse is moved or clicked. I intend to continue chasing this. This is a stake in the ground. P.S. I filed one at SuSE also: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1056960

Please bring this issue up there, if it is still a problem in the latest kernel release.
I have switched to Linux Kernel 4.13.0. USB mice (the several that I have) when plugged into a USB3 hub and that hub is plugged into a USB3 port do not work. Neither the Plugable brand nor the Kingston brand of hub. The mice all work correctly when plugged directly into a USB3 port.
