MX Master strange movements

[FranzVrolijk]

I just noticed whilst using Paint 3D to draw/write using my mouse, that my mouse does this weird thing every once in a while.

It's hard to explain, but basically, the mouse doesn't move how it's supposed to. I decided to try moving my cursor in a circle around a rock on my wallpaper, and after a few seconds, the mouse would move further down or further to the right, even though my mouse was circling the very same spot on my mouse pad. So by just running my cursor around in circles, I can get it from the top left to the bottom right on the screen without really moving it more than a couple of cm around on my mouse pad.

I tried to look in my Windows- and Logitech settings, and I couldn't find anything about mouse acceleration. Pointer precision is OFF in Windows.
Any help here? I've had this issue for a while, but never though much of it, or if it impacted me whilst playing games or anything. I have my MX Master connected to my PC via the bluetooth dongle, which is plugged into a USB port on the back of my keyboard.

I think the answer was as simple as 'my mouse pad was full of *'. Just washed it with a piece of cloth and some warm water, and using the mouse in general feels much lighter and more consistent now...

If you are running an MX Master with the proper driver Logitech Settings should not work. You should be using an app they load named Logitech Options. I have 2 MX Masters (2 different computers) and they both are like that. I have not had this problem though.

Did you mean that my Windows* settings shouldn't work? By Logitech settings, I did mean the Logitech Options-app, by the way. My Windows settings do work, though, at least the one for pointer precision that I tried earlier.

As mentioned I think the problem was actually my mouse pad all along though.
