Mouse intermittently freezes - port disconnect/connect sound sometimes
Win 7 Ult 64

This started just yesterday, but is recurring incessantly since then. Wired usb Logitech G400 mouse intermittently freezes, for periods that vary between a half second, and 7 seconds - and on the longer freezes, windows makes the sound for a usb port experiencing unplugging of its peripheral device, and then the sound for a new device plugged in as soon as the intermittent freeze desists.
I've tried different ports, without change in the occurrence.
I can pinpoint no action that instigated this, and my recollection is that I wasn't launching or engaging anything new when it started. I generally used only MS Word, Chrome browser, media player classic, and a game on Steam during the few days before this started.
Also, the unplugged/plugged-in sound doesn't occur apart from when I'm using the mouse, which leads me to suspect that the freezing is only occurring while I'm using the mouse and causing the pointer to move.
I tried a registry fix for SSD freezes that I read online, which didn't resolve the issue, and I can see that the SSD is not freezing itself, as games, music, video, will continue to cycle while freezes occur.
I also deleted the Logitech Gaming Software driver, which I had to do via deleting the system folders (there were two, for two versions of the software) rather than uninstalling, because an uninstaller didn't appear for one version, and the uninstaller didn't work for the one that appeared. I then installed the latest version of the software, downloaded from Logitech's website. This did not help the with the issue.
I also then tried completely removing the driver software by uninstalling the freshly installed software, but the problem persists with the proprietary driver software uninstalled.
I wonder if the mouse itself has a malfunction - though the chord has not been mistreated, or pulled tight, that the wire could have developed a short - It would not be a short in the mouse, because after the freeze desists the pointer instantly moves to wherever it would have been, if all movement had registered.
Assistance is appreciated.
