Hiya, got a very small, but annoying issue with this mouse. Every time I put the computer to sleep, and wake it up again the scrollwheel will barely scroll on websites and applications. To fix this i just have to turn the mouse on and off again, but am still wondering what causes this to be an issue or if there are any known fixes for this?

Appriciate any suggestions!

"bare scroll"?

I'd check dmesg and /var/log/syslog to see if there is any relevant information.

ProTip: use dmesg -T for human readable timestamps.

I'm guessing they mean "barely scroll". So sounds like some sort of DPI or scrollrate change.

dmesg does still sound like a good place to start.

I'm guessing there is some sort of HID driver that isn't having its state restored after sleep.

I had this issue about a year ago on my work Ubuntu computer. I think I solved it with Solaar. Sorry that's not a more confident answer. I hope it's a good lead for you.
