Mouse Freezing

While playing, I have been experiencing an issue where my mouse freezes mid-game. I'm using a Razer DeathAdder Chroma, and have tested two different mice... so it doesn't appear that the mouse is the issue. The mouse lights stay on, and unplugging and reinserting the mouse USB fixes it temporarily. It HAS happened twice in one ranked match, which does not make my team happy.

I don't know what change could have been made that would cause this sort of issue, but I wanted to report it. I have a good computer and very few background programs running, and I have only noticed this while in a match of LoL.

This has happened to me, turning off my mouse and back on doesn't work I have to quickly slip the battery out and put it back in. Only happens during league.

Have you tried multiple USB ports? It's possible one of the ports is failing.

When you lose the mouse, if you alt-tab (cmd-tab) out, do you have mouse control in your OS still?

I've tried multiple ports and have had it happen in each. When I alt+tab, the mouse is still stuck, so I think the issue is triggered within League but is not confined to League. I'll check anything else that people recommend, but this computer is only a few months old and fairly high end. My initial thoughts about maxing out the processor were incorrect (I first noticed this while streaming with OBS) as it happens with hardly any CPU stress as well.

Only the mouse seems affected, and since it is wired there is no need to remove batteries or anything.

Are both USB ports you tried on the same connection to the mobo? (If you have USB ports in front and back of the computer, have you tried both front and back?) Have you tried a crappy stock mouse or just Razer mice? What other apps are you running while you play?

I can't imagine it being either LoL client or OBS, as neither of them really touch the mouse, they just read the cursor position.

I tried USB ports on the front and back of the computer. The front ones were used because it is a little easier to unplug... in ranked play. :/ I haven't tried crappier mice, but I am hoping to not have to buy a new mouse to test. I've been trying to think, but I don't think I have any other major programs running... at the time, maybe it was Hearthstone in background (not always), Chrome, OBS (not always). Nothing else major come to mind, but I can check when I get back home.

Thanks for the help... I'll do some research on what could cause a mouse to become unresponsive in general.
