Poorly shielded USB 3.0 cables and USB 3.0 devices can interfere with wireless devices.

In this case, moving the USB 3.0 cables and devices away from your wireless keyboard, mouse and/or trackpad may help clear up the problem. If not, then you may need replace those thin poorly shielded cables with better cables.
