[SOLVED] Mouse sensor registering even upside down

[Malakyan]

I just bought a new mouse and every time I take it off the desk to it slides all the way to the top right corner no matter where the pointer actually was before.
My initial thought was that the sensor was too strong and/or dirty but after cleaning it I realize that even if I flip the mouse over and point the sensor to the roof it keeps registering something and moving the pointer,
moving it while its in the air or flipped does nothing it just keeps trying to move upwards and to the right.
its a generic mouse but since it works without any problem while it touching a surface I don't think its hardware problem but that's just a guess, any help would be welcome

Generic mouse. Generic drivers.

Likely no driver code to "stay" or "freeze" the mouse cursor at its' last screen location without any laser sensor input.

So the software/driver, defaults the cursor to the top right screen corner.

Or the drivers are corrupted in some manner and respond in that fashion. Could just as well have been the bottom left corner.

Starting point is to try to find an applicable driver.

However, if the mouse is working correctly while touching surface I would leave "well enough" alone.

Especially where a mouse is not designed to be or intended to be flipped around, pointed around at the roof, etc.....

The flip around was more of example, my problem actually happens because I usually lift the mouse to recenter it and as soon as the sensor leaves the surface the pointer slide all the way to the top left corner which is really not ideal, thank you for your input tho

"Same difference".

Once the mouse is no longer receiving the/a surface reflection - which happens when you pick up the mouse - the mouse drivers do not know what to do.

When I pick up my mouse (Logitech M310) the cursor simply freezes in place. I am typing and the vertical | cursor is showing then that cursor will freeze in place.

What is forcing you to lift the mouse and recenter it? Limited workspace, short cord......?

this would be the ideal yeah, every mouse I ever had was like that.

more of a habit, but even when I try not to do it the fact that the cursor goes crazy with the tinniest elevation is a big problem for me, tbh until I got this mouse I didn't even realize I was doing it so much

When you repeat some behavior over and over that can evolve into a habit. Muscle "memory" is another consideration.

And it is in your favor that you are aware of the habit.

Maybe a wrist support of some sort may help you change the behavior. Or some other ergonomic change within your space.

All in all if some conscious effort to avoid lifting the mouse and/or selected ergonomic changes do not resolve the matter then another less sensitive mouse would be warranted.
