So when I play any game, my mouse will not respond, but I can see the game running and my keyboard is still functional. This also happens when I watch a video (Youtube, Twitch, even saved videos through Windows Media Player). A few other programs are affected as well, such as Adobe Premiere and After Effects (CS6).

This only occurs when I plug my Razer BlackWidow Stealth in. I have Synapse 2.0 installed. My mouse is an older Razer Abyssus which works fine when the BlackWidow is not plugged in.

Windows 7
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.90GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 32.0 GB
System type: 64-bit
Display: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

Is the mouse plugged into the keyboard's USB slot? The keyboard might not be passing the mouse's interrupts along. Have you tried plugging the mouse into the motherboard's USB ports directly?
