Here's a strange one for the experts out there.
My house lost power last night. When I got to my desk this morning my mouse cursor was drifting left until the edge of the screen. I can move it with the physical mouse, but its always drifting left. I even unplugged the mouse and the mouse cursor on screen continued to move. I began unplugging peripherals trying to diagnose what the possible issue might be. When I unplugged the black box from the USB, the cursor stopped moving. Okay, great. Now what?
If I plug the black box back in, the cursor begins traveling to the left again. I have used this setup for almost a year without issue. I flew DCS last night (before the power outage).
I don't want to jack up my VKB configurations that I've painstakingly established.
Anyone know what I should do? Flash the black box? Factory reset of the black box?
Anyone ever see this happen with the black box?
Edit: I unplugged the pedals and mcg so the only thing connected to the PC is the black box. It is still causing the mouse drift.
Thanks!

Re: Black Box causing mouse drift
Do you have any of the axes on your VKB device operating the mouse through either the native software or something else, like Joystick Gremlin?

Yes, I have my MCG ministick setup to be a mouse axis. The MCG is not currently plugged into the black box (in case that matters)

You, sir, are a saint! Thanks. Soon as I plugged in the mcg, all was well. I parked it and unplugged - no mouse drift.
