I'll close out of Reaper, unplug my LaunchPad and wait a little while, plug it back in and start up Reaper once again and still not able to use it.
Is there something I am missing, or is there a known issue with midi devices? I'm just so confused on why it does it in the first place, and it becomes a little frustrating when I can't get it back.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

No, I don't think there are any overall known problems, however individual controllers can be problematic depending on how they are setup and configured to the computer.
If you're using USB to connect it to the computer, that has certain problems that vary from product to product. It's sounds like this is your main problem.
It looks as though your Launchpad also has midi connections in and out, that usually can take care of the problems associated with USB.
So I guess the question is, do you have an interface that has midi connections?
Since you've experimented with your setup, it appears you know the gist of it and you might be able to find a method that will work in some form of consistent manner. I've noticed that some USB connections work if you don't plug it in until your computer is up and running. Others, that's not the case.
Also make sure you have the latest drivers for it.
