USB3 devices can be sources of EMI.
You could have a mouse with unshielded wiring, some cheap mice give
scant regard to good building practices. And you could have a tiny
cable break due to metal fatigue.
I was forever getting logs about a mouse disconnecting. In my case,
it's one of the mice that perpetually goes into a sleep mode when
untouched, this upsets the system, which immediately wakes it up again.
