Does your mouse pointer dance on its own accord on your screen?

Question

Mine does and it drives me crazy!!

Answer 1

maybe your mouse should try out to be on Dancing With The Stars

Answer 2

This happens (mostly) due to the fact that the optical mouse is placed on an irregular surface. What is meant by irregular here is that it is reflecting the laser beam haphazardly so that the hardware thinks you are moving the mouse. That's why you see the mouse pointer 'dancing' around. The laser pointer is continuously reflected and deflected due to reflecting nature of the surface. To solve this problem, try using the mouse on a different surface, perhaps you may try it on a piece of paper. The best solution is to use a good mouse pad. If the problem still persist, then you may have a defected mouse or a defected USB port. Try connecting a friend's mice to your computer and/or to a different USB port and see whether the issue still remain.

Answer 3

yes!! omg!!!

and the worst thing is that im paranoid there's spyware in my computer (the pointer moves on its own accord when someone's spying your computa)

if you're wondering whether there's spyware on your computer then lift the mouse off any surface so that it's not touching anything. if it stops moving then it's just a manufacturer flaw or whatev.

still, it IS pretty annoying isnt it??
