I think I am hitting the same problem; interestingly on Xubuntu 14.04 ... and a plantronics blackwire 420 headset. Any time I use it to make a call (and start using its volume keys) ... mouse/keyboard get "whacked" that way.

The mouse has always worked normally until then. Approximately every 10 minutes left-clicks are not registered properly to the topmost window. They usually appear to go "through" to the window below and it's not possible to switch focus to a new window (or any other window). Mouse movement is unaffected and clicking on the original window (which has grabbed the focus) seems to work. The Unity bar pops out but is not clickable and rapidly re-hides. Sometimes individual window elements are not usable even if the main window itself is. Examples: * In Thunderbird, left-pane account/folder selection works, but does not perform the corresponding update to the message list/preview panes when the folder selection changes. * dialogues are popped up where parts of the dialogue respond to clicks but other parts do not. Commonly, the dialogue title/menu bar is not responsive (it cannot be moved/closed). Sometimes right-clicking will restore focus to the appropriate window/area. Sometimes not. Unloading and reloading usbhid and hid_logitech modules does not help. Restarting will fix the problem temporarily. WORKAROUND: Switch to a console and back will fix the problem temporarily via Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F7.
