Just because you have a burly workstation does not mean that the OS 
does not try to power down devices similar to a laptop.  Your mouse 
may still be being power managed and might not like being power 
managed.

I had the same problem with a Windows 10 PC until I disabled power 
management.

Check your /etc/power.conf file.  I have this in my power.conf:

device-thresholds       /dev/usb/hid0                           always-on
device-thresholds       /dev/usb/hid1                           always-on
device-thresholds       /dev/usb/hid2                           always-on
device-thresholds       /dev/usb/hid3                           always-on

Do something similar for your mouse device.
