Alienware TactX mouse randomly stops working

I got my mouse over a year ago and had no problems with it until recently.  It just stops working I hear the device disconnect sound and the lights go out then after a second or two come back on and functions just fine for a bit then cuts out again.  I ran the trouble shoot and it says that I am using a USB 2.0 mouse with a USB 3.0.  The odd thing is I haven't  any trouble with the mouse and computer in over a year I got them at the same time.  It is very disconcerting trying to play a game and have my mouse cut out on me when I need it to function the most  during boss fights and such.  Any help you can provide will be helpful.
