Possessed mouse pointer!

DublinDude · 17 Dec 2008 at 18:14

Hi all,

My mouse pointer has been acting up a lot lately! For some reason it will jump an inch or two without me touching/moving the mouse itself! Its really annoying as I keep clicking on links that I don't want to click or in games things jump around!

I am using a Razer Lachesis mouse which is supposed to be a decent mouse. I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers etc!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Interesting!! But I didn't have this problem before and I have had this mouse a year at this stage!

Blow on the optical sensor, you could have a bit of dirt or small hair intermittantly confusing the sensor

Yea I tried that a few times!

Shiny surface by any chance? Dell mousepads are notorious for confusing optical mice with their 3D block pattern.

No its a razer mantis!
