    I built a new computer and installed Ubuntu 16.04 on it. I'm reusing a USB keyboard & mouse that were working on my previous computer, so I doubt that they are the problem.

    Hardware specs:

    Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A
    Graphic cards: GTX 1080 + GTX 550Ti (which I use for display)
    CPU: Intel i5 6500

    The problem is that sometimes, randomly and temporarily, keyboard input will be really slow, or skip key inputs. As for the mouse, sometimes the pointer will stop moving for a second or two. It doesn't seem to be particularly related to CPU load -- I can't determine anything that correlates with these moments of erratic USB input.

    How should I go about troubleshooting this?
