Mice don't do USB2. They are Low Speed USB1 devices. To see this, type
lsusb to get the bus and device numbers of the mouse and then lsusb -t
which should show something like:
|__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=HID, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M
showing that it is running at 1.5 Mbits/sec
You could try two 5 meter cables separated by a hub.
