Theres the clutching at straws idea the mouse plug or usb port has dodgy solder which shrinks enough outside to cause a fault. try different socket and different mouse. Any simple cheap moue mat should be fine but avoid black which could be absorbing too much light for the receiver in the mouse to pick up. Gaming mice usually use lasers these days instead of simple leds so your gaming mat may not be suitable for a simple mouse but optimised refletivity for laser mice. I dont know if the window over the receiver in the mouse could be fogging up in the cold either .
Maybe a trackball or mechanical mouse is needed for you? I'm looking at getting a foot switch to use for mouse clicks in my setup, sick of dropping mouse or controller off my leg (I only have one hand so constantly switching, but a foot switch could start/stop recording for me if i put the pointer where I want it then carefully put my mouse upside down on the ground out of the way when i dont need it). Just ideas.
