update: The same problem occurs in 20.10 with kernel 5.8.
I'm having a mouse hiccup that comes and goes where the mouse becomes unresponsive where the device is deleted and added again by UDEV. See log below.
There is another post where the keyboard and mouse was not detected at all, and that post suggested reinstalling the OS anew, but there must be a proper solution to this issue without reinstalling.
A clue to this problem might be: okt 21 15:12:37 trillian /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[2808]: (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
But where can I check if there are multiple entries for this device?

From the log above this catches my eye in special:
/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[205327]: (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech Gaming Mouse G400 (/dev/input/mouse0)
/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[205327]: (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[205327]: (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[2808]: (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech Gaming Mouse G400 (/dev/input/event3)
It seems like the device is registered to two different devices at the same time: /dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/event3.
Is it correct to assume that this is what causing the intermittent problems?
A new problem occurred now after the device was removed and added anew. The device stopped working at all, and the keyboard stopped working as well. The following error was spamming the journal:
kernel: usb 2-1.2: reset full-speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

[..]
To get the mouse and keyboard working again I had to unplug them from the USB jacks behind the computer and plugging them into my USB-Hub.
I have also tried to disable USB autosuspend by adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1" to /etc/default/grub and verifying that autosuspend is disabled:
# cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
-1
The issue is similar as a bug reported back in 2018 and I have added comment showing the log output from the latest disconnect/connect and link to this post. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1794245

The device is still removed and added intermittently as the log above shows. There is a difference though; it isn't removed and added as often as before. But from what I'm experiencing i would classify this as a bug.
