macOS Sierra installed ok, but keyboard and mouse freeze after brief usage. Anyone else having this problem?

I have this same issue, and the chain of failure may be indicative of the problem.

I have two keyboards connected to the Mac and two mice, because I use it on two sides of the desk (one side is the iMac with an Apple Extended Keyboard II and Logitech MX Revolution) and the other is at my cintiq, where I use the cintiq pen, apple mouse and wireless keyboard.

First, one of the devices will fail to respond. Usually one of the mice, but once it was the keyboard.

If I switch to another device, it'll work fine for a few seconds or minutes, then also stop responding. I'll switch to another, and it too will work for a bit, then stop responding. Eventually I'll run right out of input devices and the Mac will sit there waiting for something to happen but I'll be unable to communicate with it.

Throughout all this, the Mac itself works. I can plug in USB devices and they'll appear in finder, I'll unplug them and up pops the warning not to disconnect, then plug them back in and they're good. I can SSH into the Mac OK, and I can connect via filesharing.

It seems to be related to something in the HID that's just dropping out input devices one by one, and also one by one *as they're being used*.

One mouse and one keyboard is bluetooth, the other keyboard is ADB->USB, and the other mouse is a USB wireless dongle. The cintiq is USB.

It's happened to me four times so far, in about three days.

I've had this exact situation. At first I thought it was related to the issue I've seen described by other users involving an external display - but I disconnected my external display and the issue continued to reoccur.

I also use a bluetooth mouse (the Logitech MX Revolution, as Dana Siberia uses) and a USB keyboard.

Sound continues to play, and the cursor continues to blink if it's in an application where that is appropriate, but eventually I cannot interact with my MacBook at all. (MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), for reference.) The built-in trackpad is generally the last to fail, and so far I've been able to hit "save" last-minute on MOST applications... but not always. I've had it happen about 10 times since Wednesday the 21st. Sometimes the cursor will remain its usual arrow icon, and other times it will convert permanently to the "pinwheel of patience" - which doesn't spin.

I also originally thought it was an issue with web-browser displays (perhaps flash or even HTML5 strain), but I gave up last night when it was triggered by selecting a different photo for a contact in the contacts app.

I'll certainly reset my SMC, but I'd love any additional information. It's put a rather large crimp in my workweek.

You need to led your unix disk management catch up. Jumping in right away can cause an issue with the Finder - its not the apps causing the issue -- if you look at the console logs - one of them may show finder having a memory leak.

After you power up - open activity monitor and watch the disk activity until it flat-lines.

Problem occurs with any level of the OS when the unix underpinnings of disk management needs to sort of defragment the disk.

I now watch the activity monitor disk activity when I delete really old files - or rename things - and I don't shut down until it flatlines.

Did not have the problem you are experiencing until I deleted some old stuff from 2012 -- this is an issue that Apple doesn't recognize as existing.

Curiously, crashsite2 - do you have a logitech device? that's a commonality between me and Crayne16. Given the odd scrolling issues some folk have had with logitech scrolling makes me wonder.

Ho my god! me too! I use MBP early 2011 and it seem like Sierra has problem with MBP particularly with Mouse's curser and keyboard it always freeze and I can't drag something on my Desktop (However it seem work fine when drag and move icon on Dock) this appear only on Desktop, and my keyboard keep freeze for several times...... 😟

Yeah; after your first reply confirming that you also had a Logitech wireless mouse, I uninstalled the driver and reverted to a corded mouse. (Incidentally, the only one I had on-hand was a Logitech... it's been fine for about 5 hours, which is long enough that I should've had lots of problems by now.)

I re-installed their updated driver - 3.9.5, the one posted around 4:21pm on 9/23 - and immediately back to crash central. Uninstalled, restarted, fine again. (and this is with the USB keyboard plugged in and my external display as well.) So hopefully they'll keep at it; I'd really rather not get rid of my trusty Revolution. I may try the Revolution just without the LCC driver and let Apple's Plug n' Play drivers work - I used it like that for years.

Both (Mac OS 10.12 Sierra) "Mouses" in iMac (corded M500) and MacBook Pro (VX-Nano USB) locked up the whole system after a few minutes of surfing. Tried different browsers too. Had to just turn off to get started again. Tried SMC still... 😟

Now, magic mouse on iMac & tracpad on MacBook. I had hoped the Logi Control Center 3.9.5 would be okay. I had no back button with the Sierra & VX Nano. The new 3.9.5 worked on both mouses! Wow! Then 😢

Logi wanted $30 to chat with mac expert a bit ago. Glad I checked here 1st!

Hey. Same here. Logitech MX Revolution mouse. Freezes after some time of use, mostly during the scrolling. It drives me nuts, have to restart my Mac every time this happens. Beside the mouse I also use USB keyboard connected via hub, but now I'm pretty sure it's the mouse, what causes the problem, as almost everyone in this thread is using the same model of mouse. The 22th of September update didn't fix anything.

I hope Logitech is going to figure this out as soon as possible.
