What up, forum, first post here.
So, a couple of months back my Kinzu's usb started causing problems due to broken wires. I swapped out the cable only to get the same problem a few weeks later. After fixing it again, it died on me for a second time today.
I decided to put a mini usb port on the mouse itself, so if this happens again i can swap out the cable without having to open the mouse and rewire. I got a female breakout and after a bit of modification managed to fit it quite nicely on the front of the mouse.
The issue i'm having is that now my computer doesn't recognize the mouse - it gets power, the sensor blinks a few times and an 'usb device not recognized' error pops up. I removed the mod, plugged the old, wonky wire back in and the mouse worked. I've tested both cables and the modded bit and the wiring on all three is identical. This is just baffling me at the moment, any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Problem solved! After swapping the ID and GND pins on the breakout, everything works fine. Will update the album with correct wiring for reference. Thanks, Bobnova!
