Have you tested another mouse with the system?

Do you have any other mouse like peripherals plugged in?

3

Its working perfectly plugged into another usb port, i have not tried another mouse in that port though

4

Figured id reply to this, a new mouse has not solved the problem or a new port

5

Oh well, no easy fix then!

Run from a command line

journalctl --since “2 minutes ago”

and post the output here in ‘preformatted text’ and we can see if the usb is resetting or something else.

I should also add this seems to happen more often when playing games.
