    Erratic mouse

    I am having trouble with my Optical Mouse
    the curser jumps from one side of desktop to the other opens up programs and highlights things by it self
    I have tried all the usual things New batteries The latest Drivers
    but no joy
    Any ideas please

    can only suggest that optical mice don't like mouse-mats with photos or jazzy colors
    or highly reflective surfaces. best mats for opticals are plain, single-colour with a non-shiny or fabric cloth finish. As it's a wireless-mouse, don't have any electric cables near the receiver module.

    Hi sorted the mouse problem.
    I have just upgraded my Motherboard and Proceser when i connected everything i forgot to connect the mouse so instead of using a USB port on the PC i connected it to my Tevion 4 Port powered USB HUB i have connected it back to USB Port on Pc now it works fine.

    Could this be a faulty Hub or is it that Optical mice do not like powered Hubs
