If they were fine untill recently, it sounds like one of the items ( try the mouse first as it gets moved while in use) has broken one of the very fine wires inside the cable and becomes disconnected/ reconnected in use.
Borrow a mouse to see if this is the problem, and if it is buy one that costs $10 on a proper enthusiast site, not $4 in walmart. The cable is better on a decent brand, and like wool on the throwaway ones. If you wiggle the cable where it joins the mouse you might even find the break.
