I can only guess. This looks like this issue (for one colleague on a very similar setup as yours, it was the case): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/45023 I just checked, that patch is in the stable queue, and for little it missed the 4.1.6 deadline, but it should appear on 4.1.7 (if it is released) or 4.2 (for sure). You can also apply that patch locally and see if solves your problem, or you can give the input subsystem kernel tree a try: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git Cheers, -- Vinicius
