I was just about to work on a new story, at 3 am PDT (USA), I think about 11 am GMT. Suddenly the computer went dead. At first I thought it was my wireless mouse, but after I mucked about for nearly an hour, I found that unplugging it all, letting it sit, and re starting everything, it is all fine.
I did order a new mouse since the led in my present one no longer works.

Rather use wired peripherals
Due to the incredible crowding of the radio spectrum with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, satellite navigation, satellite communications, TV, radio, air travel navigation, etc. that are constantly at war with each other over interference, we are starting to see more devices that have problems functioning. That is the main reason why I prefer peripherals with a hard-wired connection.
Not to mention that wire-less peripherals also need a constant re-supply of batteries. And that is definitely NOT green or environmentally friendly.
Modern times …
… see more and more computer mice with LiIon accumulators.
While I still use wired keyboards only (preferably Cherry), I have switched to a wireless mouse that supports a 2.4GHz receiver and two Bluetooth connections and has an LiIon acccumulator. It also works via the USB-cable that is used for charging. So, there are sensible alternatives to wired mice available.
This is the model, also in a nice color: https://www.seenda.com/products/iwg-sgm01-ergonomic-mouse?va...
