and now when im moving the cursor, it periodically jumps to the opposite side of the screen or to the bottom left corner. is there something im doing that could be causing this? I never had a problem when I was using my 2 button logitec mouse
Optical mice from different manufacturers have different responses to various surfaces (and their various surface albedos). The only advice I can offer is that you try a mousepad. -RS
try blowing into the sensor, or get a wowpad. best. mouse pad. ever. i recently got a 11.5x12.5" one and previously an 8.5 inch round http://www.microthin.com/prod_wowpadline.htm
a tad off topic PlaceofDis............when I took a quick glance at your avatar, I first thought it was a pic of a guy in "Tighty-Whitey" underwear, also referred to as the "Banana Hammock.......then I realized that it was Samus, right? God I hope so. (Don't need to be looking at the crotches of men at 9:15am)
