usb mouse cuts off and on

[jcmuse]

i have a razer viper that keep cutting off and on. Like, i'll be in the middle of a game or something and i will hear the usb device disconnected windows sound and right after i'll hear the connected sound. I have dropped the mouse a couple of times, could this be the cause? is it time for a new mouse?

The mouse may really be disconnected - intermittently - due to poor USB plug insertion.

Hope this helps!

I would suspect a loose connection inside the mouse as a result of the fall -a simple cracked solder joint can cause that. Mice are too cheap to mess with. I would replace it.
