Are they plugged straight into the motherboard sockets? I ask this as I have just tried running the mouse through a usb hub that turned out to be flaky causing it to have erratic behaviour. I have also seen a second mouse and a wacom tablet interfere with a mouse. The two mice came from a wireless keyboard/mouse combo where the mouse was useless (actually it was a logitech wireless combo, the mouse was going to sleep even as I was using it) - the wireless transceiver always responded as a mouse and keyboard even if the mouse had no battery to respond.
