Recently my mouse started randomly turning off and on in games and now it completely goes unusable after a few hours of use.
I already opened the mouse to see(roughly) if there is something wrong with it.
Already set the lights on the mouse so I can easily see when it goes off and tried moving the cable and shaking the mouse to see if there is gona be any disconnection... Nothing.

Unpluging and repluging doesnt work eather(keeps flashing),
BUT if I quickly put my laptop on sleep and turn it on again it just fixes itself for another 2h.

Here is a video of it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/W8X2WkqnCt3ZpM4f2

Any idea how to fix this ?
 
Solution
It was a faulty wire problem. One of the 5 wires in the cable was broken towards the end of the cable (where it connects with the mouse). I found the spot by bending the cable and waiting for disconnections.

Then I fixed it by cutting that part of the cable off and reconnected the wires like a stoneman by using scissors and duct tape. (Not recommend) Took me an hour but the ugly part is inside the mouse so it looks and works great :D
Because as i've plugged my "SpeedLink cheapo" it recognized as Speedlink Ledos.
I've googled there is no driver, sorry about that, but if this down doesnt help i think there is lose wire in there or connection as i see mouse is 30$~
"Press left click and press the DPI adjustment button simultaneously. This will cycle through pulse lighting, static lighting, and turning the lighting off."

Ik I set up the lights so it goes from green to red when its disconnecting. I'll try to use it with the lights off.
I also opened the mouse but couldn't see any problems. I feel like its caused by Windows or the Laptop itself (which I also opened today for cleaning) as I said in my thread I can fix it by Sleep and Waking.

I have fixed a lot of computer but this issue is very very wierd.
