Mouse losing signal constantly

Loses signal, but not power. Keyboard doesnt have a problem. I get a system sound, the same as if you unplug a USB device and plug it back in. It is happening so much that my computer is nearly useless when using a mouse. It is almost like a communication error with the mouse. I have tried multiple mice, and its the same with all of them.
I have tried all the drivers, updates, refreshes etc etc, and cant figure this one out. It only started about a month ago, and get progressively worse. I never lose power, just recognition.
Any ideas on a fix for this.

UPDATE, It is so bad while trying to post this, that it DOES Lose Power. Once the laser hit the table it loses signal, I lift it from the table and it regains signal. its almost as if the driver is completely backwards.

Too shiny surface can make problems like that, try on any piece of paper or cardboard.

Some mice work better with shiny surfaces than others. But since you have tried different mice and have the same problem, and since I am assuming it used to work fine on this surface, I don't think it is the surface you are using the mice on.

Have you tried a different pair of USB ports?

yes, I used paper too. I had bough two gaming mice and they both did it. I went and bout a super cheap 3 button mouse at the 200 yen store, and it does not cause any issues, or at least not as many. I have tried nearly every USB port there is, including the 3.0 ports. I removed a Micro SD card from the card reader, and the problems are not as common, but still there. I wonder if there is corruption in the UBS safe eject software.

Sounds like an issue that I have with my Toshiba laptop with the Intel USB 3 controller. It never happened with a mouse, but it would tend to happen a lot with a device like an external HDD or DVD drive. It would constantly disconnect and reconnect. Unfortunately I never figured it out, but your not alone with a really messed up issue like this.

Apoparantly in my case, its a known issue but nothing has been done about it yet.

Yuuki and Arazel check your PCI settings & USB settings in power management:

I found it was the Mice themselves. I bought two of the same model, and they both did it. I plugged in a 2 dollar mouse from a second hand store, and it works fine. The Mice do not have the problem on the iMac, only the PC. So I now use a crappy mouse o the PC and the High End Gaming Mouse on the Mac. I bought a different mouse with software for the PC. The current mice have no specific drivers for them. Thanks for all the help on this!^_^

For devices like external HDDs and DVDs, there may be an issue with amount of current for USB devices, it's pretty limited, more so than with desktops. In addition some external USB HDDs have their own power saving features and my shut down completely if not accessed for some time.
