I posted about this a few months ago and found out I wasn't the only one with this problem...
My Magic Mouse (and this is the second one doing this, because I destroyed the first one in frustration over it) is insane. More often than not, when I go to move the mouse, it will make whatever window I'm on scroll in whatever direction I'm moving the mouse. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Most of the time it's after I click on something. It makes using Google Maps almost impossible.
But as of late, the last couple of weeks, it has started something new. When I go to move the mouse, WITHOUT having clicked, the pointer will jump around the screen. Sometimes it jumps an inch, sometimes it goes all over the place, as if you turned Acceleration up to MAX for an instant. It's maddening and I'm about to break #2. I can't afford it, nor the time to drive up to Portland to buy another one.
What I'm wonder is, is anybody else experiencing this? I may have to just go up to Portland to an Apple Store and see if they have any ideas, but this is nuts. It's starting to seem more like it's a hardware problem than a software problem.
