I use Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS, 64 bit version, into an Intel i5 PC.
I got an USB Laser Pointer intended to use, as a remote control, to LibreOffice Impress presentations.
BUT... It doesn't work.
The device is new (0 miles) and works (at least, all lights become to ON when I press its buttons)
What's wrong here?
System Settings
,Mouse & Touchpad
to see what's there.
