Execute "sudo dmesg | grep -i mouse" in a terminal and get back to us

Ok, it's not your mouse, it's something else, probably a rendering issue. Can I make a wild guess? Are you on X11? In that case try this:

Add this

Section "Device"  
    Identifier "AMD"  
    Driver "amdgpu"  
    Option "SWCursor" "True"  
    Option "VariableRefresh" "True"  
EndSection

to a new file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf and reboot.

AMD GPUs sometimes have this wild random bug with hardware cursor rendering.

Be aware, that you might get some side effects, like flickering buttons when hovering with the mouse.

Wow thanks! Thats Magic you are a Wizard of the Internet. Now i can use this beautiful os <3
