Surface Dock keeps disconnecting/reconnecting USB devices with Surface Book 2

Hi 

I just bought a Surface Book 2 and a surface dock.

The dock is connected to 2 monitors and USB keyboard (Razer Huntsman Elite) and mouse Razer Hyperflux Mamba/Firefly.

Both keep disconnecting/reconnecting randomly. Mostly when running games, but sometimes also when running office application.

I have reinstalled the Surface Dock Firmware updater but it doesn't help.

I have done the latest updates, but it doesn't help either.

I cannot find much info in the event viewer, but SurfaceDockFwUpdate errors (event ID 2005 2006 and 2007).

Any ideas where this could come from?

This is becoming ridiculous, it sometimes disconnects every 5-10 sec.

    Hello,

    I am having the same error on two of the Docks at our org. Making us think maybe we should go with a different brand/product. Hopefully we get some kind of official fix for this as it seems others also have the same question (10 people in the first month of this post).

    Note that when connecting the devices directly to the Surface Book, they don't disconnect.

    If I only connect the keyboard (2 USB ports) to the Surface Book and the mouse (1 USB port) to the Surface Dock, only the mouse disconnects.

    Note that monitors don't disconnect.
