[SOLVED] Mouse cursor seems 'slippery', and stops ever so often?

[xblunja]

Hey,
I have had this issue for a while, where the mouse cursor seems to be going by itself for a small amount of time,
and after going in a straight line, it looks like it stops going for a tiny amount of time.
Could it be a faulty mouse, or maybe the mousepad?
I've got the drivers for it installed, pretty sure they are the latest ones.

The Mouse is a Mionix Castor
and the mouse pad is made of some kind of fabric, the producer doesnt say what is it,
I don't know if the information would be any useful.
I also have not turned on mouse precision in Windows mouse settings, and my mouse sensitivity is 6.

Hi

Do you have the same problem when you use a different mouse?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Make and model of your mouse pad? You might want to see if there's any dirt or debris around the sensor of the mouse(without opening it). you could use a fine bristle brush to dust the debris off the underside and the sensor and see if the issue is alleviated. I'd also ask you to see if the mouse pad needs dusting.

Hi

Will add:

Or when your mouse is installed on another known working PC?

The sensor could be dirty.
If the mouse runs on battery, the battery could be low.
