I had no such problems in the past years. But now I am also affected. During the last 4 weeks, I noticed that the mouse cursor did not move and the buttons did not react sporadically for a while even the mouse was displayed as "connected". The problem alsways disappeard itself after a few minutes - until today.
Because of the sporadic outages, I tried to remove the mouse from the KDE module in the task bar and then tried to search it again. The mouse appears in the search dialog, then I am asked whether I want to connect it as a HID device (keyboard/mouse). After that, the mouse still does not work and the LED is still blinking red and green which indicated that the pairing process has not finished. Howeever, when I endter "sudo hidd --scan", the mouse work immediately (until next reboot).
