pins read what they shuld.
My question is, do they always...

usb logitech mouse freezes by
-Avery Anderson-
I have a Logitech optical wheel USB mouse.
What it does every once in a while is stick in one place for a second or
two, and then the pointer will move again. If not, clicking it a couple of
times frees it up. If not, unplugging it from the USB port, and then
