Public bug reported: After updating Kubuntu 15.10 to Ubuntu 16.10, the USB wireless mouse stops functioning after some minutes. The time involved varies from 5-10 minutes to hours. After rebooting the PC the mouse works again. Sometimes it helps if the USB dongle is moved to another USB connection, but most of the time rebooting is the only option to reactivate the mouse. The mouse (HP NU566AA) was delivered with the HP Pavilion dv7 laptop and has always worked OK and works perfectly when connected to another (Kubuntu 16.10) PC. Fortunately, the build-in touchpad remains operational.
