A new bizarre issue seems to have made its way in the latest openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot, seemingly happening as of 3 - 5 days ago. After roughly a day of uptime, both the mouse and keyboard suddenly get disabled and become unusable, turning off as if completely disconnected. Even plugging them out and back into their USB port does nothing to recover them, they will only work again after restarting. The system is otherwise usable and responsive; Oddly enough my drawing tablet still works… I currently use it as a mouse to give the restart command and avoid pressing the hard reset button. My session is KDE Plasma (Wayland). Is this issue known or do I need to further investigate and report it?
That is an odd problem, and I guess it may be peculiar to Wayland? Can you try an Xorg desktop environment to compare with?
Perhaps, also share the hardware details…
inxi -Fxx
BTW, are you able to roll back to compare previous behaviour definitively?
If need be I’ll try X11 again: Been trying to avoid it due to the renderer being so much slower and looking laggy, sadly Wayland breaks things here and there. I can’t roll Tumbleweed back, never tried and I fear it could break my system. For now here is that output:

I decided to repurpose the USB hub I recently bought and pipe my mouse and keyboard through it, instead of plugging them directly into the PC like until now. So far it seems this made the issue go away, I haven’t seen it in nearly three days. Since the devices acted completely unresponsive as if physically disconnected, I can only assume some core Wayland or kernel issue was causing those USB ports to get powered down and the devices ignored.
You never mentioned anything about such a hub in your opening post. Anyway, good to read that eliminating it has helped here.
You got a modern cpu which is 2.5 times faster than my venerable i7-6700K from 2015. My machine has only built in graphics:

You may consider updating your graphics and checking memory size. x11 is really fast on my machine.
