I have a very strange problem. My mouse (g500) has begun to randomly disconnect on me. The problems began while playing league of legends about a week ago. It would cut out for a short period and then come back. However within 1 or 2 more games, my keyboard froze completely with the mouse. Only a restart would fix it. This happened on and off and just in game. About 3 days ago I noticed it happening out of the game, at least with the mouse. The keyboard only went once. It doesn't make a difference if I plug them into the back or front.
I found another generic usb dell mouse and plugged it in with the g500. The g500 cut out but the old dell mouse worked fine. Before doing this I noticed my headset (also usb) went with the mouse as it has Leds that would go out and come back. This is indeed very strange. Sometimes it's just the mouse. Sometimes it's everything. I tried uninstalling the USB in device manager but to no avail. I've tried unchecking the power management option that lets the pc turn off the device. I'm not really sure what could even be causing such a strange problem. Any ideas about where to begin would be great.
Some additional things : sometimes when the mouse issues happened in game it would temporarily freeze the ingame stuff but never outside of the game. I'm not sure if it's because of a game interaction or something else in the pc. The pc runs very cool 40 degrees. Also, the problem has worsened. I did notice some difference when repositioning the mouse but it was no real fix. It just cut out at a certain distance. Again any idea about where to even begin would be great.
