As an expierenced radio man I prefer a line connection above a wireless
connection when there is not a direct line-of-sight situation. In this
case I have to put the dongle on the backside because I want to preserve
the front connectors for USB sticks.
I will open the machine and check the USB hub inside.

Yes, Jim's experiences remembers me to the things that happen in my
ARMX6 system (OS 5.23 18 Feb 18). I have keyboard and mouse directly
connected to the USB connectors on the back. In my set-up not easily
reachable.
1. With some regularity mouse and keys do not come to life at the start.
I have !USBKick running, so I see that in most times then the kick from
!USBKick does (re-)start USB and then mouse and keyboard are ready.
Sometime it does not, and a dead mouse and keys remain. The only thing I
can do in that case is restarting the ARMX6.
All I can say is that these problems don't seem to occur for people who
use our recommended logitech wireless keyboard/mouse set. This uses a
single receiver for keyboard/mouse and seems to work very reliably.
If you use separate devices, then I can't really support them, as they are
likely not supplied by us. Annecodotal experience is that some are better
than others, and sometimes using a separate powered hub helps.
But, as I say, Logitech wireless sets (either sold as sets, or separates
using "unifying receiver") seem to be the best.
Best wishes,
