#Wooting Two HE causing wireless mouse to occasionally lose signal

To try to keep this as brief as possible - ive narrowed down the culprit of my wireless mouse's micro-disconnect issue to my Wooting Two HE. I'm assuming it has to do with all the magnets and overall too much EMI (electromagnetic interference). Trying to figure out what I can do to reduce the EMI coming from the keyboard:

More info on the issue itself -
occasionally, and at random my wireless mouse running on 2.4ghz (new corsair darkstar) will lose signal to the cursor for anywhere from half a second to 2 full seconds. During this time period the side buttons and left click/right click still work (only the cursor movement gets suspended). After the signal regains connection the mouse will snap to where ever it would've been if there was no signal lost

More info on troubleshooting ive done -

So the issue has been happening for about 5 months (right when I got my new mouse it was present and I had my Wooting already)

At first I thought it was just a poor signal so I bought a USB 2.0 extension cable to bring my wireless mouse's receiver right next to the mouse pad. While this did help cut down on the frequency of the signal cuts, it was still present. I also tried every single USB port possible (So front case, all motherboard options and even USB options from my monitors).

After this, I assumed the issue was due to 2.4ghz wifi interference, so unplugged all wifi devices from my place, turned off my phone, plugged the desktop straight into the modem and unplugged the router AND unplugged all USB's from my desktop besides the mouse and the wooting. Issue still happened.

Months went by and it dawned on me, the issue could be because of the Wooting Two HE.. so for the past full week I unplugged the wooting, put it in another room and used my old keyboard (all other devices plugged in and wifi and everything back on) There have been no disconnect issues in the last week so I'm 99.9% sure the culprit is indeed the Wooting.
