Re: [Avid-L2] Re: mouse weirdness

My keyboard is hardwired into the back of my MacPro and the mouse dongle was attached to keyboard. I do have an Asante hub and the flash drives in there all see fine. I have taken the mouse dongle out of the keyboard for now. Afraid to shut down at the moment as starting a large project today.

I could never isolate exactly what would cause it to go offline but I speculate that because the keyboard was also plugged into the hub maybe rapid keystrokes contributed to the issue. After moving the dongle to the front of the MacPro USB port, which is what I was trying to avoid with the hub, I stopped having the issue. This started after having the hub for some time. I did swap out the hub with a new unit but IIRC I didn't switch the power supply to the hub. At any rate I now leave the dongle in the front USB port and haven't had the issue again.
