Hp usb keyboard/mouse disconnects sporadically

[David86]

I have and hp wireless mouse and keyboard that use a single usb receiver, which looks like a pen drive. The issue is that connection is lost sporadically and the usb plug needs to be re-plugged to re-initialize the keyboard and mouse. Is there any known fix cause i dont feel like dishing out cash for a new keyboard?

I have the same problem, only mine reconnects within milliseconds after disconnecting;

 

Install Method: gfe-grub boot 132

OS: Retail OS X 10.5.6

Boot: EFI 5.1

MB: GA-EP45C-DS3R

MEM: 2x2GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz

CPU: Intel Quad Core 2.67GHz(3.4GHz)

Mouse: USB Razor (Diamondback, blue)

 

My mouse also disconnects. It would otherwise be easily misdiagnosed as the QuickTime/ NVIDIA 8800-9000 mouse lag if it were not for the lights on my mouse (and the fact that I already solved that issue). I can see the lights turn off and on quick fast randomly. It happens only once every few minutes. Usually around 10 minutes or so. Very disruptive. Wasn't happening for quite some time, but now it is. Unfortunately I do not know what changed between then and now. Below is a list of kext I have on my EFI partition.
