Depending on the mouse driver you use, maybe your mouse is PS/2
or USB-BIOS-emulating-PS/2 and somehow concurrent access with
the keyboard crashes the 8042 / keyboard / PS/2 / similar I/O
controller, due to buggy BIOS, buggy DOS drivers or both...?
Or not crashes but makes an IRQ go missing and then the next
IRQ from the mouse activity gets things back to normal?

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
