one notable aspect of my specific experience is that nothing goes wrong
so long as i don't mess with the usb ports. every instance of the
trackball and/or keyboard stopping working was in conjunction with
something being plugged into or unplugged from a usb port. i didn't
realize the correlation was so consistent until after writing my
original message and performing additional tests.
