It's not likely but worth trying -- you might try a different mouse in case
it has a broken component. You can even have more than one mouse plugged in
and see if the other one works. OR try disconnecting and reconnecting each
mouse.

Of course if the mouse is connected via a hub (maybe built into the
keyboard) then try using a different USB port and/or hub.

I don't really expect this to make a difference (usually broken mice are
pretty consistently broken), so don't bother reporting back unless a mouse
replacement fixes your issue.
