I suspect that you have a problem with a less than ideal USB hub in this
case, and in the case of the laptop of your wife.

I have used a number of USB mice and keyboards with my A31p, without a
hitch.  OTOH, regular issues on the linux-kernel list where the exact
issues you describe show up are resolved by replacing the dubious hub...
