Variath Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 So after a moderate amount of usage (like 30 minutes) my mouse starts freezing every few minutes (every 1-2). Nothing too serious. Then, 20-30 minutes after the freezing, the mouse stops moving. My keyboard lights start flashing repeatedly. I cannot type or move my mouse. Unplugging and re plugging doesn't seem to do anything. Only way to stop this is to press the power button, and the problem goes away temporarily. This happened a month/a few weeks (not sure) before my power supply stopped working for some unknown reason. I just got a new one and installed it. I plugged in the mouse and played for 40 minutes, nothing wrong so far but I didn't dare go any further out of fear that I would have to hold the power button again to save my PC. (I have issues turning off my PC this way since that's how my older PC's power supply got messed up.) Can I assume that the reason this happened was due to the faulty power supply? Is it safe to plug my M65 back in? Or am I stuck with this $10 replacement mouse with an IPS value so low that I can't even flick 40 degrees w/out problems? Although this $10 mouse is much nicer because of how light it is in comparison to the M65, I still would like the competitive advantage that the M65 provides, such as an actually decent IPS value. Sorry for the strange post. I'm not really good with hardware. Hopefully someone knows why this occurred. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apophis3 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 A faulty PSU can cause all sorts of weirdness with electronics. Go ahead and use the M65 like you would normally, and give it some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Variath Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 Took your suggestion to just use it and played 3 games of Counter-Strike, saw some slight pauses near the last 2 games but they were spaced out by like 10 minutes each pause (which only lasted 2-3 seconds). No complete USB shutdown yet, seems good so far. Hopefully I'm in the clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Variath Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Mouse is freezing more and more frequently as time goes on, even going as far as to make the windows 'usb disconnection' noise. Sucks because it was acting very dormant up until now. I just got this power supply, so that can't be it. Does anyone know why this happens?

Apophis3 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I hope the bad PSU didn't do any marginal damage to your mobo. Try testing the mouse on another system to rule out the mouse itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
