I have recently noticed that my mouse and KB are just not working in OS X so I have to unplug them and replug them: very annoying, when playing quake. And just last night I had to restart OSX because I had no keyboard and mouse. Is this a common problem or is it my mobo? would a PCI card help my problem?

I GOT WASTED WITH PHIL SHERRY!!!

This (mouse/keyboard death) used to happen repeatedly with my microsloth intellimouse 5-button. Of the three people at work that used them, it happened to, er, three of us...

I had mine replaced and the problem hasn't returned, leading me to believe it was the mouse and not software/apple hardware.

Hope that helps,
Cuke.

I'm having a similar problem with my B&W G3 and Apple Pro keyboard. I can wake the computer from sleep by pressing any key, but then the keyboard doesn't work until I unplug/replug. This is going on woth OS 9.1, but I have yet to see it under OS X.

I had a mouse that had that problem. Did it on my G4, and on the dual 500 to a lesser extent.

The problem manifested itself SOMETIMES in the Finder, but always in Unreal Tournament - after differing amounts of time. It'd just die.

Unplugging then replugging worked in the Finder, but but not in UT. Which makes sense, so thats ok.

But yeah, I replaced the mouse with an identical one like it, and, that works fine.

My God I hate USB. With a passion.
