There is a big issue in the recent firmware/driver update pushed to the surface book 2. The usb mouse became not really usable. There is a frequent lag/freeze happened to the mouse. Such issue was not there before the firmware update. 

The mouse I tried including Logitech G703, G402, microsoft wireless mouse, etc.

Many people have discussed this now but not solution is provided and the problem cannot be solved now:

A further test can now confirm that the issue is either in the UEFI version 389.2268.769.0 or the system aggregator version 728.128.137.0.

After updated these two modules to those versions, the issue start to appear. This has been confirmed on more than one surface book 2 devices.

The previous version of the UEFI starting from 388 and aggregator version 728.77.137.0 do not have such issue. I can see at the moment, the 389 version of UEFI is not pushed anymore and the firmware/driver pack downloaded from Microsoft has the 388 version now.

But for those surface book 2 which has already got the 389 version pushed cannot revert back to the 388 version. Please fix this asap.

    I can confirm that this is 100% usb issue, and the machine regulating power with the graphics card and usb bug and the latest updated firmware drivers. IT happens when battery settings are set to max performance: under this it works fine apparently....

    The same Logitech mouse I used works 100% while in a game running on the GeForce, but in windows where it switches back and forth, it loses connection randomly. Still, haven't found a solution to this.... tried some of the tricks here... any one figure out a solution?   

    Also can any one out there use a wacom with the surface book 2 and still use the surface pen and screen with pressure sensitivity? Or is it one or the other?

    Also experience usb mouse stutter.

    Windows 10 1809 build, logitech g900 stutters only when plugged in with usb cable, but is fine wireless. 

    Entire computer seems to constantly hang, but somtimes hitting ctrl-alt-delete will fix it temporarily for a bit. Unplugging the mouse from the usb cable instantly fixes the issue.

    This solved the problem for me!

    Link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56261

    Download the "Surface Book 2 Drivers and Firmware" that matches you OS Build number.

    To check you OS Build number, Click on the Start menu > Settings > System > About > Under "Windows specification".

    My OS build number was 17763.292 so i downloaded the "SurfaceBook2_Win10_17763_1805009_0.msi"

    Install it and restart your computer.

    Should solve your mouse lag/freeze.
