Mouse wheel randomly stops working.

Hi all,

Got Redragon M711 COBRA Gaming Mouse , mouse wheel randomly stops working. Tried moused and without it no luck on freebsd 13.2 and 14. Works fine on linux. Not sure what logs to look at. Dmesg doesn't show anything.
 
I've got a somewhat similar problem but only on VirtualBox machines. So, I ain't convinced it works for you. However, you can try.

Install x11/xev and run it. See what are the button numbers of your wheel up and down (use it on the xev windows). For me, it's 4 and 5. Once you know these button numbers, install x11/imwheel and run: imwheel -bXY where X and Y are your button numbers for the mouse wheel.
 
I should correct myself, there's another post in these forums about someone using xev and reassigning mouse keys with xev and one more tool. I've tried that and it didn't help.
 
I've tried imwheel as well 2-3 hours down the road it stopped working. In 2023 freebsd can't get a mouse working kind of disappointing.
 
The protocol for basic mouse functions is very well defined and there is nothing FreeBSD can do to screw it up. Perhaps you are inadvertently pressing additional buttons activating some macro or whatever?

It worked for 5 hours and then stopped
 
Did you manage to fix this by any chance, I've got a Redragon M908 that's doing exactly the same and it's getting rather tiresome tbh.

I did notice the GitHub repo below but as everything else with the mouse is working but the scroll randomly stopping, I'm not sure if that's worth it

sorry for the late response, no I didn't figure out. what's your hardware by the way ? I guess it's some kind of a bug with a driver or freebsd.

as a temporary solution which no one has suggested but it works fine, run this command usbconfig reset

Currently got a AMD Ryzen 5 4500, 32gb ram and a Geforce RTX 3050 and everything works perfectly except this mouse issue lol, even got World of Warcraft running at 90+fps but the scroller stopping working makes zooming camera in and out stop working till i restarted which sucks.

But next time it happens I'll try that command and see if it works for me, thanks for that.
