[Bug 1634017] [NEW] usb mouse and keyboard freeze after login

[Peter Pan]

Public bug reported:

Hello,
I have a usb logitech wireless mouse and keyboard connected via an aten usb switchbox to my computers (desktop and laptop). With release 14.04 I did not have any issues. I have now upgraded my desktop to 16.04 and did a clean install on my laptop with 16.04. Now I have the following phenomena:
Mouse and Keyboard are working fine when I have the login screen. However after login in my desktop (gnome) comes up and my mouse pointer is shortly (1s) disappearing and reappears.
Then I have an approximately 2min freeze time for mouse and keyboard (meaning no response to the usb mouse and keyboard). After that everything is working fine. On my laptop there is no interruption using my internal touchpad and keyboard. This happens on both computers. Switching back and forth is seamless unless the period from switching from one computer to the other takes to long (can not specify the exact time here maybe 1 hour). Then I have the above phenomenon.
I have already asked the question and checked the ubuntuforum with no success.
Best regards
