22 In this seat I'm only in plugdev and wired USB mice/keyboards are detected and
23 work each time. They are listed as 660, root:input here too.

25 HOWEVER ... I don't possess Logitech G703 to test it. There is an additional
26 complexity since the OP's mouse is wireless @2.5GHz. I don't know if the
27 wireless dongle Logitech ships with this mouse requires any special firmware,
28 to allow it to function correctly as a USB device. :-/
