Yesterday while dueling a bit in RTCW my mouse suddenly got a heart-attack or smth and denied control over my crosshair.
I left the game, unplugged the mouse (PS2), plugged it in again and rebooted.
Back on the server, nothing really changed.
I then left it as it was an went watching TV.
Back from skool today i decided to pub a bit ET, and guess what - ofc the problem didn't solve itself over night.
This time i tryed to use the USB slot.
Well, in the demo below you can see what that got me into...
download an ET demo here
for those who probably wanna help me, but are too lazy to watch the demo:
Every 30 sec - 1 min my mouse (and after a while my keyboard aswell Oo) just wont transmit any information to zeh game anymore - means, i can't move or shoot or do anything at all for a few seconds.
I usualy get killed by the time the 5-10 seconds are over.
When i respawn everything works fine again for the next 1 min bla bla bla and so on...
So i wondered, is it my mouse only, my keyboard, or both, or is it a bug in ET/RTCW/Windows?
Can't help it really.
So, if you experienced anything like this or can imagine what the reason could be, dont hesitate to post it here.
System Info:
Windows XP
mx510 USB (PS2 when it happened first)
Logitech Mouseware 9.80
Sorry for any verbal abuse of/towards the english language, but i'm kinda in a rush.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Nothing else to do than buy a new one.
Thanks :)
Does the LED under the mouse glow while the functions @ ET / RTCW stop working?
I'm no professional, but I'd say the cords are in good/average condition.
Trying to be oldskool? =)
Nur Spass, ich tippe auf Kabelbruch. Frag mich nur, warum das Keyboard auch kaputt sein sollte.
Ja, vllt, ich werd mir einfach 'ne neue kaufen, hat ja immerhin 'n paar Jahre gehalten :>
greetz btw
You got 2 options. If you are a pro technician, buy a new USB cable, and try to solder the plug from the original one on it ( hard part ). Or, you buy a new mouse =]
I had this problem as well with 3 mouses ( 500 510 and G5 ). I fixed my G5 yesterday with the first option (but let sum1 solder it =p ). Only prob is that the cable was thicker than the original ( try to fit that shitty cable in a small mouse :E)
