Mouse cursor keeps getting stuck in bottom right corner of screen

My mouse keeps going to the bottom right corner of the screen. My touchpad works just fine, but whenever I move my mouse the cursor instantly goes to the bottom right and I have no clue how to fix this. I've had this mouse for a while and this problem happened out of nowhere.

Whenever I turn my mouse off and back on again, it works like normal for a bit, but after about 8-10 minutes it happens again. I've also tried to take out the USB and put it back in my laptop, and also disabling my mouse in the settings and re-enabling it but both just resulted in the same thing -- it works for a few minutes before suddenly moving to the bottom right again. Is there any way to fix this?
