Mouse wanders and "jerks" in odd directions

[Ekibyougami]

Well i have had this problems with my mouse for a while now, when im playing doom 3 (it does it all the time, not just during doom) my mouse will have a problem where it makes you point at the ceiling ,the floor, or sometimes spin. This happens when you move the mouse slower or a small amount (for using the chaingun at long distance). When it doesent jerk the mouse quickly it makes it slowly move in a direction. Could it be dust in the connection, the mouse, or what?

is it a wireless mouse???
I had a wireless mouse once that when batteries got low it would do that.

This used to happen to me too. It sucks arse when you've got a headshot bead on the guy with your chaingun or rail and then all of a sudden you're looking at the ceiling or the floor and frantically trying to figure out which is it.. the ceiling or the floor?!?
It was worse when I had my sensitivity too low. It was doing it constantly when I had the sens set to 1.5 in Q4. It only happens to me ingame though.

this is just one of the reasons i HATE wireless things. The ONLY way you could get one you would be happy with is if you spend ALOT of money on one. but who wants to spend 100+ on a mouse...

had something alike clear youre driver also from registry usin regcleaner or such a prog then dl the newest driver and add it then tell me if it worked


if not check if oure mouse is dirty CLEAN it

Get a new mouse it alwats helps.

This is teh number one wireless mouse, which should work for you ALOT better if you want to stay wireless. And it will be well worth it.

You could also go with this if your on a tight budget, but want a great mouse.

Logitech has always given me GREAT performance. And I would vote for them having the best Computer accessories.

then again you could buy one for 9.00 at wallmart, but its not the same. You get what you pay for

Same mouse that I use. It's a lazer, so it works well on any surface too. Can't go wrong with 8 buttons!

Its not a wireless mouse. Its the mouse that comes with a dell Dimension 5100, it uses a "lazer" on the bottom. Yea the mouse is clean Ub1

The MX1000 is right in my price range for a mouse, ill pick one up soon and see if it gets better. Thanks guys.

The mx500 > All.

Yeah, Sab. My mouse isn't wireless either, but it IS a laser, not optical, but an actual laser...
I'm seeing a pattern here..
