Mouse cursor stops working when opening Unity...

Unity Engine

I’m having a weird problem: the mouse cursor stops working as soon as the Unity user interface pops up.

The problem persists also after closing the application: I have to restart my operative system to let the mouse cursor work again.

I’m using the latest version Unity 5.2.2f1 (64-bit).

I have used Unity version 4 without any problem in the past.

My specs:

OS: Windows 8.1
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000
RAM: 8 GB
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 3,4GHz (Quad Core)

For me the mouse cursor becomes invisible while in unity - I also can’t type into any fields.

5.2.2f1 64-bit - mouse is visible outside of unity editor and I can type in all other apps fine.

Was using 5.0.? without problem

Pretty weird stuff… in my case I can reproduce the problem at any time… as soon as I try opening an Unity project… the interface pops up and the mouse cursor stops working… I can still use the keyboard but the mouse doesn’t work anymore… it doesn’t matter if I remove and reinsert the USB cable… I need to restart the entire OS to let the mouse cursor work again!

I’ve found the fix for this problem guys: replacing the mouse fixes this problem for me.

It’s pretty weird since this problem happens only with that specific mouse and the same mouse works perfectly if I don’t run Unity software.

Anyways, nevermind finally I can use Unity software on my computer! :slight_smile:
