Anjow Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 What mice, what OS, what surface are you using them on, basically give some info if you want some help.I've had that problem before, it only happened in one of my houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Mouse driver is sometimes given as cause.Get a proper one from manufacturers website and it may sort it.Although i just live with it at work as driver didn't sort it. Even worse there though as it darts off onto other screen and your like, "where the f**k has it actually gone". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 ahaha sometimes when i leave my mouse to start talking it will randomly go in a direction and keep going until i move it somewhere and it will stop or until it hits a side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Mine slowly creeps to one side from time to time..little b*****d. Soon stop it though. Probably crumbs on my desk or something, making the sensor thing on the mouse go mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 My a ball mouse, (Old skoool) and mine still does it.Take out the ball and scrape all the crap off the rollers inside, I think it's rubber from the ball but it builds up on the rollers and makes them act irratically!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got the manufacturers drivers installed try uninstalling them. if not, try installing them- there's an "enhance pointer precision" tickybox in the mouse settings. It used to send my Wacom pen mental, it could be fannying around with your mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 rite it was the mouse mat, its a bit weird:S, im using the other side with a peice of paper wrapped around it now and its stoppedthanks though.If its an optical mouse then a standard cheap mousemat like the ones you get free from companies with their company logo's plastered across it will do this. They are coated in a hardwearing plastic surface, which has tiny dimples on it to add more friction to rollerball mice. Unfortunately people don't seem to understand that the dimples in the surface of these shiny rollerball mats cause the light to be reflected at different angles which confuses the sensor and causes it to mis-interpret the returning beams of light, causing the pointer to shoot all over the screen.You want to use the flat desk, or a cheap FABRIC covered mousemat, if it says its suitable for optical mice on the packaging then you'll be fine also.
