| | geek_1clickaway | July 21, 2008, 8:43 pm | #2 | | Optical Mouse Huh? they tend to be 'floaty' on shiny surfaces; Try it on a black card or darker smooth surface :D | | geek_charles.j | July 21, 2008, 8:44 pm | #3 | | does it move to anywhere specific? does it move when your net is disconnected? | | geek_charles.j | July 21, 2008, 8:46 pm | #4 | | either thator the mouse is just being plain irritating | | geek_zephyrheaven | July 21, 2008, 8:47 pm | #5 | | Dang it is a shiney wetsuit style pad (black) and no, when disconnected it didnt seem to move for that few seconds? bizzare | | geek_zephyrheaven | July 21, 2008, 8:48 pm | #6 | | Usually wanders to the left? which is odd and very erratic btw | | geek_charles.j | July 21, 2008, 8:49 pm | #7 | | Lol sorry. i was just being a bit over the top. i was getting to the fact that someone might have hijacked your pc. However i bet its just he shiny surface or something simple | | geek_zephyrheaven | July 21, 2008, 8:50 pm | #8 | | Oh ha ha yeah, hmm - so why would they sell a product thats no good for what its designed for? weird | | geek_1clickaway | July 21, 2008, 8:52 pm | #9 | | The Shiny surface is possibly the 'satan' ; Genius brand is a 'knock' off of the good optical brands; They tend to 'float' even on the best of surfaces: Just try a dark piece of paper; And see if that helps :D | | geek_zephyrheaven | July 21, 2008, 8:54 pm | #10 | | Waaaaa but i spent $25.00 on this lousy mouspad? | | geek_wogadopolous | July 21, 2008, 8:55 pm | #11 | | I never use mouse pads Always found they move around under my wrist too much or get in the way at inopportune times while gaming. Zeph, I recommend you let some air out of the tyres on the right hand side, should sort out that demonic creep | | geek_zephyrheaven | July 21, 2008, 8:56 pm | #12 | | Re 11 arrrgggggghhhh ha ha, is this yet another recall for DSE? lol - and as usual, trustin ol me turfed the reciept so i cant go back and leap up and down | | geek_kylea_damien | July 21, 2008, 9:26 pm | #13 | | Go to Mouse settings And disable pointer precision. I find all my mice do this till i disable this. | | geek_cadifan | July 21, 2008, 9:58 pm | #14 | | Occasionally mine kinda tiptoes towards the left like it's sneaking over there or something, not too often tho'. | | geek_drcspy | July 21, 2008, 10:24 pm | #15 | | Optical mice dont really need a 'pad' just a good surface.......a shiny surface may not be ideal | | geek_allymay | July 21, 2008, 10:36 pm | #16 | | Woot g5 FTW | | geek_matthew_129 | July 22, 2008, 10:17 am | #17 | | Zephyour mouse is shotI see it every now and again at work here. Go get your self a good logitech one or PM me your address on the otherside and ill send you one of the spares ive got floating around here. | | geek_mustang23 | July 22, 2008, 11:06 am | #18 | | I had the same symptoms you are experiencing with a Logitech MX1000 Cordless mouse. The fix, was somewhat simple. Turns out I had somehow inadvertently changed the USB Polling frequency. Google those words and you'll get an abundance of results, and a fix. Alternatively, plug it into a PS/2 adapter, and the issue disappears. | | geek_zephyrheaven | July 22, 2008, 4:20 pm | #19 | | Hmmm how can it be shot - its only a week or so old? its not cordless its just optical with a thingy to plug into the old timey mouse port on my old clunky pc? as for mustangs fix - dood, i can turn this thing on and off - thats it LOL | | geek_julieandcasper | July 22, 2008, 6:18 pm | #20 | | I never use a mousepad either. I have a nice, brown, woven cloth place mat that came in a set and only cost me a couple bucks (the rest are on the table). Works great on wandering mice. Mine hasn't wandered since. | | geek_zephyrheaven | July 22, 2008, 6:22 pm | #21 | | SOD IT well, its true - its the mousepad. right im going to roll it up and use it to slap one of the pinheaded D&D nitwits behind the counter at dork smythe | | geek_pcgeek | July 23, 2008, 12:58 pm | #22 | | I had erratic movements on an optical mouse awhile back, turned out to be a hair up near the lense under the mouse... | | geek_sighkick | July 23, 2008, 1:02 pm | #23 | | Mousepads are for the old fashioned Roller ball type meeces! | | geek_mustang23 | July 23, 2008, 1:36 pm | #24 | | Re:23 Unless you're a gamer, in which you want a mat which is not going to cause friction or drag ;) | | geek_zephyrheaven | July 23, 2008, 7:32 pm | #25 | | The mats good for wrist its got one of those gel pads, and the rustic ass desk is no good for a mouse surface | | Leave your comment: | |
