Ubuntu – Wireless mouse not working

13.10dellmousewireless

I have a Gigabyte wireless mouse (m7600), and ubuntu 13.10 freshly installed. All this on a Dell Inspiron n5110. My problem is, that the mouse isn't responding. The system recognizes the receiver, it shows up as Cypress corp.. if I issue lsusb. Things I have tried so far:
-Trying it on windows 8.1 -> no effect
-Trying it on a live distributions -> no effect
-Trying it in each USB port -> no effect
-Trying it on an other computer -> working
-Trying other USB mice on this computer -> working
-Changing batteries -> no effect
It worked for quite some time, and suddenly stopped working yesterday.

Any ideas?

Alright, got it working now. The USB dongle was at fault, it's somehow a tiny bit damaged, enough so it won't connect the pins to the USB of my laptop, but still reach those on my PC.
