Logitech mouse unresponsive for a few seconds

I am having a weird problem.

My mouse is a logitech g700s.
I have it connected as a wired mouse via usb.

I noticed it would randomly be unresponsive
then a few seconds later it would make the windows sound and I can move the mouse again.

How to fix this?

I suggest verifying you are using USB 2.0 ports instead of USB 3.0 ports.

Hi,
Have you tried a different usb port ?
Have you tried to lower the dpi on it ?

dpi is currently 1600.
what does it have to do with this?

I have previously used this in a different usb port
and i notice same problem.

Hi,
Not sure why would you be using an insane amount of dpi ?
Default for mine is 500 although I believe it will go 16400 dpi why would I ?

does 1600 dpi affect windows performance or possible cause of this problem?
I recall setting that dpi, it was just what was default (i think)

What is the purpose of higher dpi and polling rate?
And what is recommended?

what mouse do u have?

My current settings in logitech gaming software

DPI
1600

Polling rate
1000 reports per second

I should think its because your doubling-up, USB to wired!!!
unusual set-up.

I have to connect via USB, cos the battery does not last long on this mouse.

I would often have to recharge it daily, which would require me plugging the usb cable in daily.

So there was no point and I decided to just connect to USB permanently.
