[SOLVED] Wireless usb mouse / dongles

Post by Ljj »

I found a solution (workaround) for a wireless mouse problem. I use Mint Virginia and Windows 11. The same mouse performed well with windows but not with Mint. After all kinds off test I noticed that the mouse did work if the distance between the usb dongle and the mouse was less than 40cm. So I attached an usb cable extender and attached the dongle in the extra cable and placed it more close to the mouse. It works fine now, which points at a signal strength issue in MInt with usb dongles probably.
