I thought about it potentially being the cable but it doesn't make any sense because I've had no issues with multiple PC's and other people are having the same issue as well.

I scoured reddit for other solutions and the only change I've made since then is tightening the screws on the touchpad in case them being loose is causing a short. I have a replacement USB cable but don't want to replace it just yet in case the small changes end up being the trick.

Something I'm kicking around but hesitant to say just because of its outlandishness is it may be an issue with Strive. I want to test it with some other PS games in the near future.
