mouse

I'm using a 2021 M1 iMac with Monterey. My wired USB-A mouse occasionally fails, which is a bother. Can't move the cursor, and it's possible that the cursor doesn't even show. What fixes it entirely is unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in. The mouse has been connected in various ways, through several different ports on different hubs, and the problem repeats, so the issue doesn't appear to be USB connectivity. Is this possibly a system issue, or should I understand that my mouse just needs replacement? That is, is this an understood failure mode for wired mouses?
