Mouse issues 1/2/24 - Stops moving every few seconds then returns, continues to loop.

[Friend/Guutsu]

Hi everyone, sorry i'm not very tech savvy so I don't know the current patch Cyberpunk 2077 is on right now. But, I wanted to make a discussion in the hopes of making a post that's easier to find then some of the google searches I've tried for the problem I believe I solved.

I've been having the mouse issue where every few seconds the game stops responding to mouse movement, but only the mouse, I can still move around but can't control looking around, then after a few seconds it returns and it repeats this loop.

Trying things like verifying files, trying controller, windowed, borderless, fullscreen, very basic attempts to fix it and not deeper dive stuff like what kind of mouse I have or files.
I have a basic Microsoft wireless mouse 4000, and not the logitech I've seen some people report being the issue.

What worked for me was literally taking my wireless mouse USB dongle and unplugging it from the front of my computer and moving it TO THE BACK of my computer. This fixed it.

I hope this helps anyone who also has this issue.

Currently having the same issue with a wired mouse, it worked perfectly fine for over 100 hours and randomly just stopped responding, works in menus just not for looking around as the character in game.

I have the same issue. Didn't play the game for a long while, decided to install it again recently. So I've got a fresh install, but old saves and configs. No mods.

Every few seconds, the mouse input gets eaten, then after a second or so, the input gets applied instantly. Like:
I move the mouse left, the view goes left.
I continue to move the mouse left, the view stops for a second.
I continue to move the mouse left, the view snaps to where it should be if it had moved with the mouse to begin with.

There is no FPS drop, everything around me moves at a good smooth speed just like normal. There is no visual stuttering or any other effects. The mouse input is the ONLY thing affected.

And here's the kicker: The mouse cursor in windows is affected exactly the same way if I'm alt+tabbed!

Some other characteristics of the bug:
It doesn't do it everywhere, some parts are affected more than others. I did three mini gigs without problem in the city. I move to another part of the city, the lag starts.
It behaves exactly the same whether I've been in-game for a while, or start the game fresh. Restarting the computer changes nothing.
I play a lot of different games, and I've never experienced this bug in any other game, Cyberpunk 2077 is the only game where this appears.
The game worked fine a year or so ago when I played it originally.
I have a wireless mouse, but it behaves exactly the same even if I use the mouse connected by cable.

With this bug, the game is completely unplayable.

Sounds to me like a power issue or power saving mode on your usb port.
