ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2024-06-12 18:47:02 UTC

The problem isn't just the icon, it's the device detection entirely. It's identified the mouse as a keyboard, and hence given it the correct icon for a keyboard.

This is a difficult situation because many mice do unfortunately identify themselves to the system as keyboards due to having a bunch of extra buttons on them. See also Bug 465957.

I don't know how to fix this.
