mouse jumps!

[splintitan]

why do optical mouses start to randomly jump to the end of the screen...? ver annoying.
(didnt think mise is the right word here)

umm are you using it on an uneven surface or something? I have never experienced this. Is this with a laptop? Even if you're not touching it, sometimes touchpads go bad and start going haywire all over your screen. Real annoying.

Are you trying to use a plastic, shiny, or red mouse pad?

 

[splintitan]

laptop, but im using a mouse. could be the surface (very smooth), it just moves slower with a mouse pad.

 

[AmberClad]

I don't use a mouse pad myself, I just use my bare desk. I don't think the smoothness of the surface is important, but if the surface you're using it on is somewhat reflective, then it could cause problems.

 

[splintitan]

aaa, it can be a bit reflective because of the finish.
thanks that helps alot.

My mouse pad isn't reflective. I guess you can say it's plastic, but then aren't all mousepads made out of plastic, except for those that come with a comfort gel?

yup. laser might be able to deal with some shiner surfaces. regular ones will just get jumpy
