[CUBE] Optical Mouse failure

[Sensei (Eliezer Navarsky)]

Hi,

Yes, I had that problem too and it really threw me for a while... The 
mouse is there on moment and the next moment it is gone and the system 
doesn't even see it...

I just went and adopted a new rodent... The new one was reared at the 
Kensington mouse farm and has 3 buttons and a scroll wheel. I just love 
it.

As always, YMMV
