    @Mr. Fox
    So I contacted Dell today telling them that my replacement mouse (which is the one I am talking about in this thread) is what's causing this issue. They are sending me another replacement soon, no questions asked again. seems like the last mouse had Corona virus :D

    Still have it on 15r2. I had this issue with AW TactX mouse aka g9x logitech on right USB port and external HDD on left port and it would disconnect suddenly or say USB power delivery failed or device not recognized or it has failed!
    I couldn't replicate this issue since it was intermittent.

    Either he has no idea what his specs are, or he has the only X299 laptop in the world. Or, dyslexia. :vbbiggrin:

    So, what's the verdict? Defective mice, or defective/buggy laptop and/or firmware?

    Did you test the first two mice to see if they caused similar problems on different computers?

    It was the mouse bro as I've been using the replacement for days without any problems. One thing I am not going to do is I won't update the firmware like I did before through the Command center, don't need no more surprises and no I didn't test those other 2 mice on another computer as I don't have on. My wife's Dell Vostro 5470 needs a keyboard replacement after my daughter spilled water on it.

    Well, glad to hear that the third one is working OK. So, Command Center updated the mouse firmware on the first two mice?

    @Mr. Fox @Papusan

    The new mouse just did it bro! The laptop started typing 11111s again. Disconnected and put back my G900 Chaos Spectrum. All Good! Never buying an Alienware mouse again and I won't request for any more replacements, it's just a waste of time.

    Damn nice. Own products struggle work with each other. Razar products is bad but this is even a bigger mess.

    If I remember correctly, your AW headset was messy too. This should be a lesson learned for long time. Clean up your hardware sig :)

    @Papusan Well well... I've been having the infamous trigger clicking problem with my Logitech g502 hero, I literally got given another one, help me :D

    It's not that it's a bad mouse I wish I could solder new switches into it, feels amazing and that scroll wheel is the best I've used so far. I just hope it doesn't end up with the same problem...

    At least the steel series apex pro and the corsair wireless headset are going strong, although I'm not a fan of 'wearing' RGB lol, maybe I'm getting too old for this crap!

    @Mr. Fox @Papusan

    With the new motherboard the mouse isn't typing 1's anymore. Perhaps the leakage of Liquid Ultra that I initially applied and ended up toasting the two right RAM slots has to do with the USB port going cukoo bug?
