This workaround for the Unified Receiver's HID driver was reverted in 3.10 for a proper solution — https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/commit/?id=8af6c08830b1ae114d1a8b548b1f8b056e068887 — which unfortunately does not work, at least for my Anywhere MX. I've reapplied it, and now the cursor is moving again. Others are having the same issue, see this report in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1194649 |

Further, I would second Johan R's question. A month has gone by since his comment, and the 3.10 series did indeed hit [core]. Probably this was done because (as mentioned in arch-dev-general about a week ago) the 3.9 series hit end-of-life. But nevertheless, shipping this to [core] with a bug like this does seem a bit severe... I am on a laptop, so losing my (usb) mouse meant that I had to use the touchpad -- not that big of a deal. Had it been a desktop, it would have meant "no mouse for you" until you could go bug hunting...
EDIT: On a totally unrelated note, upgrading to the 3.10 series also solved a longstanding annoyance: my laptop has a backlit keyboard, that *never* got lit automatically -- I had to use asus-kbd-backlight manually. Now it does...

The main revert has still not been included in 3.10.6; maybe the Arch devs might consider including it on their own.
Hope this can be of some help.
This revert was accompanied by a second commit, said one-liner, which broke it yet again and was reverted here for 3.11-rc5: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/8e5654ce6914b950b42d1f896f3d8a75fbf307ae
