I've been experiencing an issue where my mouse freezes for about half a second every minute. I've tried a few troubleshooting steps, including plugging it into different ports on my PC, unplugging and re-plugging the monitor, and reinstalling both the mouse and graphics card drivers. This started happening on Thursday and seems to be getting worse over time. My mouse is a Corsair Katar Pro XT, and I've also noticed that the lights on it flicker, mainly when I'm playing Minecraft Java.

Those flickering lights along with freezing could indicate a power delivery problem. Make sure the USB port is providing consistent voltage. You can try disabling USB selective suspend in the power settings—just head to Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings > Advanced > USB settings. Also, testing your mouse on another PC can help rule out hardware issues. If it mainly happens in Minecraft, check for background programs or overlays that could interfere.
It might be worth testing with another mouse to see if the issue is specifically with yours. Also, you could try booting from a Linux live distro; if the mouse works fine there, then it's probably a software issue rather than a hardware one. If it freezes there too, you likely have a faulty mouse.
Have you tried updating your motherboard BIOS? That could fix compatibility issues as well.
