I have a OrthoMouse for carpal tunnel and the mouse pointer doesn't move at all. The buttons (right, left, wheel) work fine but i can't move the pointer. The mouse works fine in windows. I have a different Microsoft optical mouse and that one works just fine in the same USB port. Is there any way to fix this? I really love my OrhtoMouse.

PARTIAL ANSWER ONLY

lsusb output of "ID 1d57:0005" means 'USB HID v1.10 Mouse or Keyboard device'. The 'HID' part means "Human Interface Device", which generically covers mice, keyboards, etc.

In other words, your device is not being recognized, and only its generic capabilities are available. You need a Linux driver for this device.

Will need to investigate further ..
