Crabby Mouse...
Driving me nuts!
Saturday, February 18, 2006 by Fuzzy Logic | Discussion: PC Hardware
Every so often my cursor will shoot to the corner of the screen. It appears to choose the corner at random. During games it gets annoying - in UT2004 the room spins round and I end up facing the wrong way... 
I've changed the mouse, changed the driver and changed the settings. Any other suggestions?

My mouse does it too once in a while. I have a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse deal. I like it, but the cursor jumping can get annoying when I'm working in Illustrator or Photoshop. Or the occasional game. Using a mousepad seems to prevent it, but I don't care enough. If it bothers you, try a mousepad, or another surface.
Erk.

This happens on my machine as well ...only ever happens with the optical mouse/mice [both wireless & wired].
If I switch to my ps2 trackball mouse ..it stops doing it.
Annoying when it happens, and I haven't found a fix other than that.
