Windows 8.1 and my mouse

So getting home, and just wanting to relax and play some LoL, when I have to get a computer update (which I always say no to) and then about 30 minutes later I'm on the windows 8 sign in screen, only now my mouse isn't working. Windows 8.1 just won't work with my mouse, and only my mouse. It's a kensington mouse in a box (http://www.kensington.com/us/us/4487/K72358US/mouse·in·a·box™-wired-usb), and yes, I do want to get a new one.
It appears as both a mouse and a keyboard (the 2 HID devices), and although my keyboard works perfectly, it doesn't show in devices.
Here is the mouse plugged in: http://gyazo.com/f802ab52151d82c289566467328c5381
And not: http://gyazo.com/2ba17621daee6cd99e97f436d6315efa

I'd like to do a pc refresh to get back to windows 8, but it's now letting me (the whole insert media thing but no option to contiue), and when I used the command promt method the customrefresh.wim took up over 300gb, not giving me enough space to refresh.
I can't find online drivers for this thing, so any help on getting my mouse to work? It'd be greatly appreciated :)

Have you tried the USB dongle thing in a different USB port?

Every single one, mouse just doesn't work, it had power and installs drivers, and I can see the cursor, but it won't move.

Have you downloaded the usb motherboard drivers?
Will the disk for my motherboard have it? It's the z87- g41 PC Mate.
And it's only this mouse, everything else works like a charm.

Always get them off the manufacturers website for the latest drivers mate

Have you tried re-pairing the device and dongle (if you can as some don't have feature to)
