Likely the cable is becoming intermittent. Basically time for a new mouse. The other fail mode I've seen is failing switches that may multi-click or not click reliably. USB connectors do fail eventually, as some one with older machines i've seen this many times. Not likely to be a controller issue though of course it's possible.
