Plug Razer Mamba Wireless into USB and it turns off and stops working.

I commonly plug my mouse into a USB port to charge it. Up to now the mouse continues to work. However starting today, when I plug the cable into the mouse it turns off and stops working. There is no error or ding from Windows. I have to unplug the mouse and cycle the mouse's power button in order to get the mouse to work again. I have tried several different USB 2 and 3 ports with the same outcome. I'd love to try another USB cable; however, the interestingly non-standard design of the Razer USB cable prevents this. Is this a broken mouse problem? Broken cable?
