Weird. I got a thunderbolt extension cable for my dock, and it clearly "works": my laptop is charging through it, my secondary screen came on... but the USB didn't. So I have no mouse.

How does VIDEO and POWER work but not something as simple as USB?

@foone USB is just really bad. It's also the only thing that used to cause me issues with my dock setup. But since I switched some of my USB cables from USB3 to cheap USB2, and replaced all my power supplies with a single one, it got a lot better.
