Jittery mouse after SL graphics update?

[Mark Booth]

Has anyone else noticed that their Magic Mouse is acting, well, I don't know how else to describe it other than... 'jittery', since installing yesterday's Snow Leopard Graphics Update?

I've been using the Magic Mouse since it was released. Same mouse pad. Same distance from my Mac Pro. No issues whatsoever. Until this morning, the day following the install of the graphics update. Since this morning, the mouse is not tracking smoothly and seems to have a bit of a delay. It just feels slightly out of whack with the computer.

I've replaced the batteries, that didn't help (the ones that were in it still showed 55% so I didn't expect it to help). I turned it off, rebooted my Mac Pro, and turned the Magic Mouse back on again. Same jittery feel.

I'm not saying I'm 100% convinced this was caused by the graphics update. But it does seem weird that it happened after I installed it. So, I come here to ask....

Anyone else?

Never mind! I got to looking at my mousepad and it seemed to be very shiny. Like maybe something got spilled on it and didn't get cleaned off completely. So I took it into the kitchen and gave it a good cleaning. My Magic Mouse is back to functioning normally.

Edit: I bet I know what it was. I just remembered I was eating some Cheez-Its in my den yesterday. I bet I transferred some of the oils from the Cheez-Its to my mousepad, despite the fact that I wiped my hand on paper towel between grabbing some Cheez-Its and grabbing the mouse.

lol. The perils of eating whilst at the computer 😉

I was going to agree with you, before reading that you fixed it. Mine is a little jittery today, after the update, but I thought it was because I've started using it on a dark wood desk instead of my usual white binder. Huh.
