logid fails to start with device timeout. times out immediately. works randomly

[rayzorben]

When logid runs it will hang at timed out, waiting for input from device to initialize.. It never proceeds. I re-run it 2-5 times and it starts working. This is an issue because running in a service I never know when it is going to work other than to just keep restarting it.

Here is where it doesn't work (note that the timed out prints IMMEDIATELY.

sudo logid -v

[DEBUG] Unsupported device /dev/hidraw6 ignored
[DEBUG] Unsupported device /dev/hidraw0 ignored
[DEBUG] /dev/hidraw1:1 timed out, waiting for input from device to initialize.

Here is where it works:

I have the same issue with a M650. Additionally, unplugging and replugging the bolt dongle or turning the mouse on and off while logid is running fixes it.

Same here with an MX Master 3. Can confirm the workaround from @markozajc works for me as well.
