anyone else having problems with external (non-apple) mice

i have the MS Mobile Mouse 4000 and connect it via USB.

When the computer screensaver/lock screen kicks in, it seems to lose the connection randomly. If I unplug the USB dongle and plug it back in, its immediately recognized.

At first, I thought it was an anomoly but the more time i spend with the computer, the more i notice it happening.

I've used exclusively Logitech mice over the years, and I've never had any connection issues with any of them. My current mouse is the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX™
