Escaping mouse cursor. The cursor moves up or down the screen.

I have a problem with the optical mouse. It works normally, but sometimes it is quite abnormal, such that at some point the cursor moves to the bottom or top of the screen. On the screen you can see if I moved the mouse quickly.
Heard it might be the mousepad's fault. If this is the case, then advise what is the best mouse pad for an optical mouse.

PS The computer does not have any viruses. I scanned it on-line with MKS-Vir. He detected nothing.

Solid material pad - without any patterns and a ring. So, for example, all black matte.
Try to clean the optics of the mouse - maybe some debris has fallen in there and is stirring ...

I had the same problem with a regular mouse, it turned out that the reason for this cursor behavior was hairs moving in the space between the transmitter and receiver where the cog that transmits the mouse movement moves. Maybe it will help.

After all, this is an optical mouse, so there are no teeth! only lasers, I guess I'm wrong

hyhy, it just so happens that I have the same problem, I have my lasers (opto 415) when I leave it sometimes and even often it moves by itself so it is the fault of the pad I have a cardboard stuck with tape: Change
the pad and you will see everything, ok so don't worry that the mouse is bad or viruses are not the pad's fault, check it yourself. it moves and it will work best on a smooth surface, check it yourself

heh, I think my friend doesn't know how the optical mouse works!

correct version:
light pad with a fine pattern, not shiny

Is it a wireless mouse because maybe that's the problem and not because it's optical

It is enough that the receiver is placed in a wrong position and the miracles of blindness will work

I think some LED - I read somewhere that such a transition between the laser and the LED ... laser mice are to appear soon.

You need to clean the optical path of the mouse. Sometimes something will get stuck in there - a hair or whatever.

As for the mousepad - just ask for one in the computer store for an optical mouse.

The most important thing is that it should be uniform ... It is enough to do a simple experiment - put the optical mouse, for example, on a notebook cover with a color drawing - the mouse will get lost.
Later, try on a solid-colored notebook - e.g. green - and the mouse works great ...

There might even be a spider inside !!!!!!!

Optical mice work best if they have one colored pad, if you have a pad with different colored patterns, change it. Since different colors reflect the light cast by the mouse differently, different unexpected cursor behavior occurs.

Maybe you have XP and SP2? If so, then "normal"
See if it will also run without SP2, I have already seen this type of posts on a few forums and it appeared that SP2 is guilty, of course I may be wrong, but it's worth checking

Thanks for the help.

And by the way, small corrections to the answers for others who have the same problem:
1. This is a mouse with a cord
2. I have WIN 98 SE

I heard from a friend that his friend bought a Teflon-coated frying pan and apparently it feels great with an optical mouse.

Get a stand in one color. It should help.

It's hard for me to imagine ... pans on the desk with a mouse in it ...

My 1.5-year-old son found the solution to the problem, after pouring apple juice on the desk, the problems were fixed.

And I have the Genius PowerScroll Eye optical mouse. No pad, only the desk, alder color, WinXp and the cursor is where I leave it. In the old rat, the ball slipped and the washer had to be there, but for the optical one, it makes me wonder what the washer is for - aesthetic reasons?

hmm, not Teflon pans, but some stands for ikea table
Or maybe the sun goes out of the window and the mice are choking? But rather a washer.

Similarly, I have no pads, only my desk. And as for the cursor, it runs a little on the screen, but it is probably the fault of the pollution.

Buddy, "megusman", we're all talking about a moving cursor, the mouse as such stands still :lol:

Have a nice evening

When the mouse is on the cable and the cursor jumps, I am almost 100% sure that the cable at the entrance to the rodent is damaged (broken).
Disassemble, shorten the cable, solder the colors and it should be ok.
I had it myself on a few mice that have passed through my hands (that's why I now have a wireless one).
Then do an "autopsy" in the place where the cable is probably damaged ... Just to be sure if it is.
greetings

but theories there is ......
either it is the fault of the pad (usually) or, as sometimes happens in a4tech mice, the reading system (sensor) is located too high, but it manifests itself rather problems with moving the cursor ...

and the standart described by the maser ....

but nonsense with electrification? or those with a radio mouse? (the cursor will run at most)

as for the pads, it is smooth, preferably with raster graphics (never uniform) or with some delicate texture because in the end the sensor must have some reference point

the desk must also be smooth because if it has a wood texture, some mice go dumb (no even light reflection)

Kolobos, don't overdo it with sp2 - it's some kind of nonsense ..... (but what they won't come up with, right?)

I have a Trusta mouse without a cable on a black pad and I have no problems. My girlfriend has an A4Tech mouse (8 buttons or more) without a mousepad and ... she goes crazy (the cursor escapes and what's worse, the keys themselves are pressed - e.g. the current program closes, a context menu appears, etc.) such a fancy mouse with eight buttons, check if you still have a warranty on it, it may just be a flawed model. It may also be the fault of the drivers - try to download newer ones !!

And what do you need a mousepad for an optical mouse for? Mine for PLN 30 even works on the knee. It is the pad that can be a problem if, for example, it reflects light strongly, is covered with a material, etc.
If it doesn't work, buy a new mouse! (Well, unless you have Logitech for 300)

Greetings

I also had the same symptom !! in the Mediatech optical mouse (PLN 50) it seems to me that it was a defect that cannot be repaired somehow. In the end, during the game I got pissed off and I felt that the scroll broke and I bought a new Vobis Digital for 50 and miodzio !!

I'm starting to worry because my Trust (complete with keyboard) is also starting to sleep ..... up

I have a4tech with 5 buttons and 2 rollers and I noticed that when I install the proprietary drivers, I go crazy after some time and when I do not install the proprietary headsets and use standard winXP headsets, it does not cause any problems.

Yes, but then such a mouse works like a regular 2-button with 1 or 2 scrolls (I don't remember). Then you lose all the functions that this mouse has

Hello

I also noticed such a situation with optical mice in several clients - exactly the cursor "twitched" was moving by itself, or with difficulty it was moving to the indicated place - as if the user's hand was broken ;)

all these mice were on a colored pad - exactly one that is covered with a "rough wrap" - at first I thought it was irrelevant, after reading this topic I made sure

This is irrelevant, because I have a black pad (not reflective like some) and the cursor has only started to run away recently

then clean the pad .....
I have a colored one with an imprint and sometimes I go crazy ...
after industry it works fine until ..
sweat, dirt and dust do their job - the mouse also needs to clean the eye from time to time

It also happens that the cursor vibrates because there is a large electromagnetic field on my mouse. This is happening more and more often because the equipment is made crap, good shielding is missing or badly done.
My crap optical mouse flies on the screen when my cell phone starts ringing, and then during the roma. Maybe you have another constant source that interferes with your work.
