I think that is very unlikely...  :-)

Some HID devices are weird.  That's all there is to it.  I've got an HP 
USB keyboard that works fine on Windows systems but didn't work on Linux.  
The problem turned out to be that the Linux driver queries the initial 
state of the keyboard (which Windows doesn't do, or at least not in the 
same way) and that was enough to convince the keyboard to stop working.  
For some odd reason, adding a USB clear-halt request to the driver got the 
keyboard going again.

You may be seeing something equally strange.
