Control lag/random control disconnect
I wasn't sure how to title this one, as the issue is somewhat confusing, allow me to explain.
While playing a few nights ago, my keyboard and mouse disconnected from my PC. Shortly afterward, they reconnected, and I thought nothing of it, really. Then a bit later it happened again. So I re-seated my mouse and keyboard USB connectors, and thought "this is a PC problem, maybe my mouse and keyboard are just getting old". Then it happened at least once an hour while playing this game, and this game alone. I have tried plying 3 other games (Escape from Tarkov, Heart's of Iron 4 and Factorio) and I do not get this same issue after hours of those games. I came back to Space Engineers, and sure enough it happened again. It started going down in frequency, so I though it had gone away.
Now I have an issue where any extended button press stops registering for a second every one or two seconds. It goes away for a bit, but then while holding W, my engineer will stop every second or so. While holding F on a survival kit to refill vitals, it stops every second or so, and I get the associated sound cue for connecting to the SK. This happens on all movement keys and F (haven't seen it happen with the mouse buttons yet). It isn't the game lagging, my looking around goes smooth, and it is happening on my solo game, and multiplayer.
I do have mods, but I have tried a fresh save without any mods loaded, and it still occurs.
Any assistance would be appreciated, as although the disconnect issue was not causing any good deal of discomfort, the input skipping is causing the game to be unplayable.

Good News! I was able to figure out how to use X-Box game bar to record video, and I now have a video for you to see what I mean. In this video, you can see that there are no mods installed, and this is the fresh install of the game. I change no settings and go into a fresh world. I am holding W/A/S/D or F in every case, and you can see that the input seems to stutter. Most often when pressing W and on the ground, but it also happens in the air and with any prolonged button press. You can also hopefully see that the game itself is not lagging, it is just the input. Hopefully this helps to clear up any confusion. When I tried to upload the video, the upload failed so I have included a link to where the video is hosted.

I have also attached the log file from that particular game. I hope to hear back soon, as I really enjoy the game, and in this state, I can not.

Even better news! I had uninstalled the game a couple days ago, but today I decided to check it today and reinstalled it, and it's now working. I don't know what changed, but as of now, I no longer have the issue. Have a great day!
