[SOLVED] Mouse goes crazy after being lifted?

So I got this mouse a few days ago, pretty small brand, the model is White Shark GM-1603 and as soon as I plugged it in first time, I noticed that when I lift it just slightly off the mousepad it goes insane. It took me a while to realize what the problem is, thought it could've been a dirty sensor or mousepad but then I realized that it was the usb connection. As soon as I plugged it into another port, it worked like a charm without going crazy when being lifted.

After a few minutes tho, that started happening again and I realized it wasn't the ports, it was the mouse usb connector that even if it moves a little inside the usb port it makes the mouse go crazy. The problem lies in the fact that I can't just readjust and push it back in every few minutes cause its extremely annoying.

I don't make any sudden movements with the mouse that would make the usb drastically move, there's a very small distance between the port and the mouse so the cable doesn't tense up and fully stretch so I don't yank it out at any point. Can I in any way keep the usb plugged in without it even moving slightly? Because as soon as it moves just a tiny bit, everything goes mental again and I have to replug it back in every minute or so. Thank you.
 
Solution
Try another known working mouse on your computer.

Try your new White Shark mouse on another known working computer.

Determine if the problem stays with the computer or follows the mouse.

If the latter (follows the mouse) then return the mouse and get a replacement or a refund.
