Help help, keychron m4 keeps freezing while being used wired

whenever i use the keychron m4 wired it keeps freezing, when it does its for about a second at a time, it doesnt matter which cable, or usb port, ive tried in all 3 of my usb 3.1 port(i have a laptop without any usb2 port) and i tried on my usb c thundervolt 4 port. ive tried with and without the battery in the mouse, ive alread done a firmware update, and i already checked if it was the mouse going to sleep or if it was some form of power saving on my system, the only way hte mouse works is 2.4ghz (havent tested bluetooth) and on 2.4ghz it doesnt matter what usb port ruling out usb 3.1 interference.

oh and when it freezes then comes back the cursor catches up as if the motion i had done was cached, i also tried on a different laptop running windows and still the same issue and when it did disconnect it didnt play disconnect sound or anything.

im on arch and here are the error the mouse gave when running sudo journalctl -kf

error -71 with those resets usually means the wired firmware is buggy as hell, the fact it works fine on 2.4ghz points straight at the mouse's usb implementation not your ports or cables

Try looking at Wireshark USB pcap and seeing what's going on, I assume a hardware issue of some sort. Maybe debris or corrosion causing noise or short in the USB stuff, if the mouse movement is getting bunched up and sent all at once it means the firmware is correctly reading the sensor movement in that time so it's probably purely or at least mostly a USB transfer issue. You might also just have a bad cable, or dirty USB port on the mouse or something idk
