my mouse clicks but doesnt move
So I started to have this problem 2 days ago when I left for work I had my desktop still on and when I came back 6 hours later my mouse could click and scroll but it didn't move, it literally stayed in the center of the screen. However after a couple of reboots and tried different USB ports it worked. The second time it happened was after 10 minutes of inactivity it stopped but I was able to fix it again with the same steps. For some reason during my league game it stopped and it moved very slowly lagging behind after movement but it was fixed after replugging it in different USB ports. Now yesterday at around 9 I took a nap and woke up at 11, this time it like always had the same problems. However after literally 10 reboots and shutdowns, tried multiple USB ports, uninstalling the hardware 3 times, and even tries safe mode it still does not move. I even tampered with the bios USB setting for my mouse and I still come up with the same problem. My mouse is the rat 5 and everything seems to be working just fine besides the fact that I cannot move my mouse. If anyone could help me I would very much appreciate it.

Swapping a device is usually the best test of whether or not it's working correctly.
Try the problematic mouse again and see if the symptoms return.
If it does, and it's still under warranty you might be able to get the manufacturer to fix/replace it. Otherwise, try it on someone else's computer just to verify it's bad before deciding to trash it.

Like the others said, try another mouse, or try taking your mouse to a friend's house or a school computer and see if it works there.
Just yesterday my mouse started binging and bonging as the USB kept detecting it and disconnecting it, and the pointer would freeze while it did that.
I fixed it by installing the mouse in my waste basket and plugging in a spare mouse I keep on hand.
if you don' haave anouther mouse, use mousekeys until you get a new one.
check the drivers
Hardware defect?
