Man, I have exactly the same problem. Was actually afraid of opening a new thread not to look like a fool 🙂
My usb optical mouse (wired) stopped functioning as well for absolutely no particular reason. Mouse in itself is perfectly ok, plugged it into an ubuntu and behaves nicely. USB ports are again ok, external drives work just fine. More than that, system information displays this:
USB OPTICAL MOUSE:
Product ID: 0x0a4c
Vendor ID: 0x15d9
Version: 1.00
Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Location ID: [rather not:)]
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 100
Don't know what that means but I suppose the two of them are friends. The little guy though (mouse) is completely unresponsive. No clicks, no pointer movement. No fun really 'cause on my free time I kinda like to do music and would need that dude around for that. Been using it without problems until now.
Apple, really. If there's two people already it must be true. 🙂 Honest to god I have the problem and it's real.
Please don't let 10.9.2 break something like this!
