RISC OS Open: Forum: Wireless mouse not supported

Dec 1, 2024 8:29am

Hi,

I have been working on the design of a replica Archimedes mouse using modern wireless internals but having done all the work to finalise the CAD I have now hit a brick wall as I only just discovered that this mouse is not currently supported by RISC OS.

I am using the wireless mouse hardware from the Bambu Lab mouse kit: https://uk.store.bambulab.com/collections/holiday-specials-collection/products/wireless-mouse-components-kit-002

This works great on my Mac. It works great on Raspberry Pi OS on my Raspi 3B. But swap the Raspi SD card to a RISC OS image and it doesn’t work.

There is absolutely no mouse pointer movement.
Middle click, right click and scroll wheel illicit no action.
Left click results in either the mouse pointer being activated (i.e. clicked), the mouse point jumping a fixed amount to the right, the middle click menu popping up, or some combination of these.

USBInfo on RISC OS shows the wireless dongle is being correctly identified; see below.

I have tried plugging it into each port on the Raspi. I have tried it as the only USB device plugged in. Each time I have done a full power off/on reboot. There is no change in behaviour.

Any assistance you could offer would be massively appreciated as this is to be part of a Christmas gift for my brother who has long regretted getting rid of his RISC PC many moons ago.

Hi Matt,

Try installing and running !Hid
on the RISC OS card image and installing its drivers.

This has worked on some problematic ones I have had.

Thank you so much Doug!! You are an absolute life saver! That fixed it. You’ve saved Christmas!

If anyone is interested in poking about, the default/built-in USB keyboard and mouse drivers are part of the ‘USBDriver’ module. Someone familiar with HID device behaviour may be able to identify what’s missing/incorrect.

What would be really useful is to be able to capture USB traffic, in a form suitable to be dissected by Wireshark.

You’d need something like a port of USBPcapCMD
