Hello all,

I am using ubuntu 16.04 (upgraded yesterday from 15.10) on Dell inspiron 15 3000 series (core i7). While using Microsoft wireless mouse, it fails to detect most of the time. The issue is not there when I use the same mouse in Windows / other linux distro / TV / PS4 etc.
Here is the Kernel log for the failure.

After multiple connect/disconnect of the wireless dongle, it finally detects. Here is the detection log.

I am not sure of this weird behaviour. Is there some issue with ubuntu kernel for input device? or is there a problem with microsoft mouse driver?
