Execute "sudo dmesg | grep -i mouse" in a terminal and get back to us

    Ok, it's not your mouse, it's something else, probably a rendering issue. Can I make a wild guess? Are you on X11? In that case try this:

    Add this

    Section "Device"  
    Identifier "AMD"  
    Driver "amdgpu"  
    Option "SWCursor" "True"  
    Option "VariableRefresh" "True"  
EndSection

    to a new file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf and reboot.

    AMD GPUs sometimes have this wild random bug with hardware cursor rendering.

    Be aware, that you might get some side effects, like flickering buttons when hovering with the mouse.

    Try a different mouse. Try your mouse on a different computer.

    Im no expert, but... Make sure your os is updated. If you have a wireless mouse try using it with the cable. Maybe download mouse drivers via terminal? Also mandatory have you tried turning your PC off and on again?
