Wireless USB mouse-dongle not communicating, Ubuntu 22.04.1

cx flag

I am currently trying to use an HP X3000 wireless mouse on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (64-bit). I purchased this mouse in 2018 (about 5 years ago). Just recently it stopped working, and I don't know why.

When I execute lsusb in the terminal, the dongle is properly detected:

lsusb

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04f3:250e Elan Microelectronics Corp. Touchscreen
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1bcf:2c9b Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. HP TrueVision HD Camera
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 8087:0aa7 Intel Corp. Wireless-AC 3168 Bluetooth
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 3938:1031 MOSART Semi. 2.4G Wireless Mouse  <----(This is the mouse!)
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I have verified that when I unplug the dongle, this listing disappears, and when I plug it back in it reappears. Therefore I believe it is being detected.

The mouse itself has a new battery in it, and the lights all seem to be fine. I have restarted it many times, and have pressed the small 'connect' button many times as well.

When I run xinput, the USB mouse does not seem to appear.

$ xinput

⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-pointer:17                       id=6    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:17              id=7    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-pointer-gestures:17              id=8    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-touch:17                         id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                     id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ xwayland-keyboard:17                      id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]

Therefore it seems that the mouse and dongle, while both separately 'working', are not communicating properly. Any suggestions? I might just try buying a new mouse since they really don't cost much. But I'm still curious.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
