my optical mouse is the devil
« on: August 04, 2005, 05:31:38 pm »
I\'m not kidding, this is scary as hell. I\'ve walked into my computer room like 3 times to see that my optical mouse is moving all by itself. I have come t the conclusion that it is not a hacker, because it just does loop-de-loops instead of trying to access files. Does anyone else who has an optic mouse havethis problem?

Well my optical mouse is not possesed (or at least it wasn\'t the last time I had a priest in to check) though it does seem to like dancing when it thinks no one is around.   Of course I have to expect stuff like that since it is a MS mouse and we all know MS trains their mice to do weird things.

if my mouse was moving all by itself, hackers would not be the first thing that would come to my mind. i\'d check for strings first...

unless you are refering to the actual mouse pointer on the screen. but, it does remind me of a story i heard once. the mouse doesn\'t happen to be wireless does it?

I must compliment you on one of the best thread titles, ever.  :P

My optical mice do this too.  I think it\'s just that they\'re too sensitive, and think they\'re moving sometimes when they\'re not...

first of all, drop your mouse on a plane unicolor surface.

then be sure the battery are not empty

Finally is it a ps/2 mouse ?
-> I had the problem on the 2.6 kernel of linux on my laptop: I had 2 ps/2 mouse (touchpad + real physical ps/2 mouse) and the kernel had sometimes problems with the mouse cursors...

if you have an adaptater try to put your mouse on the usb port.

Is the problem solved?

ahh common problem

make sure that your mouse is not on a shiney desk or surface becuase the laser relfects and breaks up badly and goes back into the mouse all wanked up.

try using a white peice of non glossy paper and see if it happens ?

or put it in a bowl of holy water for a few hours, then  crush it with a silver hammer, and burn it in holy flames, it should be alright then :)

If it is an Apple Optical mouse, then get something else. I use Mac gear, but have had that trouble with their mice also, ended throwing two of them away, one was fairly new too. I\'m back to a $29(NZ) right/left click, scroll, \'ball\' mouse. Cheap, nasty and mint. NP\'s. :)
