It could be that the mouse that was "faulty" needs more power than the mouse that works on both machines. The USB ports on the "faulty" machine might not be supplying enough power to the mouse so it sometimes does something that causes it to crap out, the new machine might have a better power supply on the usb ports than the old machine, and the mouse you stole from it perhaps uses less power.
