I recorded my screen, see the google photos link below. You can see the pattern I described, it first freezes at about 0:00:05, before momentarily unfreezing at 0:00:08, you can see that by gun scopes out and I stop walking right because I let go of RMB and D when the bug started, then it freezes again till about 0:00:10. While it was frozen I was moving my mouse and pressing movement keys but nothing was happening and you can see that when it unfreezes the view starts panning with my mouse movements. It follows this exact pattern with what feels like the same duration every time.

There are quite a few people suffering with this - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Losing-all-keyboard-and-mouse-input/m-p/10978785. The game seems to have an issue when USB devices such as a USB headset (just headphones - no mic) is attached, in my case. A few others have mentioned this being the case for them as well. This shouldn't happen and it's a clear fault with the game since it doesn't occur with any other title.
Can confirm USB devices can cause this, often have joysticks plugged in to play flight sim game... 2042 stutters horribly unless I unplug them, I use a USB headset too, so there is still some lag left over unless I use speakers... can't believe this isn't tested for these days :/
- @BgT1990 Yeah, I usually have a joystick and rudder peddles plugged in, but this unfortunately breaks some games. I thought this could be the issue for me but I still keep getting the glitch with nothing but my keyboard and mouse plugged in.
