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.

    I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

    Device manager --> USB 3.10 extensible host controller --> properties--> power management then turn off allow the computer to turn this device off to save power!!

    The latest version I find is 1.42.139. Is that the one you installed?

    If so, it's the one I have for months and it doesn't fix the issue

    I have the same issue.

    Razer keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting while connected to dock and playing a game.

    C'mon Microsoft - this cost me close to $5,000 for surface book 2, pen and dock. 

    Pretty unacceptable that this dock behaves like this. I'd expect that from some cheap Chinese knockoff - not a Microsoft branded premium product like the surface book and dock. 

    So far the only solution I found is to disconnect one of the USB of my keyboard (the one powering the light below the keyboard).

    I didn't get any disconnection since. But I'm using my keyboard the way it should be used...,
