Comment 159 for bug 636311

This has apparently been ongoing for a long time. I have a Saitek Eclipse ii keyboard and I and others report that when you click the keyboard button to change the back light color, it triggers mouse events. These end up disabling the mouse. Unplugging and replugging the USB cable for the keyboard resets function to normal with the default blue back light color. If you try to change the color, the problem returns. I am now running 64 bit 14.04 and the problem has been with me since at least 12.04.
