I have USB SteelSeries (all drivers up to date), but didn’t have this issue prior to SU5 Beta, it happens all the time, seems like pointer flickers on momentarily every about 24sec for a very brief time with loading circle, very annoying during night flights.

Does it happen only in MSFS 2024 or do you have the issue even if not using the sim?

Only 2024 SU5 Beta
