External keyboard and mouse issue

I have an Apple keyboard (full size, USB) and a Logitech mouse I connect to my MacBook Pro. Every now and then, either the mouse or the keyboard will just stop working. I unplug for a while, and sometimes this works. Right now, the keyboard is not responding even though it's been unplugged for an hour or so. I prefer the functionality of the full keyboard, especially the more spread-out design (don't really like the laptop keyboard; too cramped-in) as well as the external mouse.


Any ideas on why this issue keeps happening?


Thanks,

CM
