I've just (finally) been given an optical mouse in work. After asking for one for a year. And having to explain to my IT department what it is!!!! It looks like a cheapy one, and no drivers came with it. I've plugged it in, restarted, and the fucking cursor is jumping around like a loon! If I go in slow, smooth movements it's ok, but if I change direction sharply, then up/down movements are reversed and it's just going all over the place. Any ideas, anyone? *tries manically to hit "post" button* |

try looking at the settings in the controll pannel, and make sure your desk is clean |

YOU HAVE GOT SOME SERIOUS ASS SEEING-EYE MOUSE PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!! |

|

Jesus, just getting into the reply box is a struggle... Yes, the settings seem ok. Ziggomatic, wtf are you on aboot. Neetta - I've had two pints but I'm sure it's not down to me ;) Arrghh this is murder |

Great quote on the back - "Eradicates erratic mouse movement". It would only be more erratic if I slipped it a sheet of acid. It's a Genius Netscroll+Eye, babe |

Make sure it is a surface with a textured pattern like a wood grain desk. Completely plain smooth mouse mats can cause problems like you described. |

I think you need the drivers for it. I;ve just sent you the users manual, you should be able to download the drivers online at www.yourdrivers.com |

Nice one Ceri. I suppose I should have tried removing the mousemat before posting eh :D I've gone through a variety of mats and none of them are suitable, so I've just plonked it on my desk and it works fine. |

haha =op You should have read my post better to "make sure your desk is clean" |

I had the same problem (in fact all the labs at my uni did after I successfully lobbyed them to get optical mice)! |

optical mouses suck |

why would I ask if your desk was clean if you were meant to have it on a mouse mat. I would have asked if your mouse mat was clean if that was the case |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I needed a rougher mousemat, the one I was using was too smooth and shiney :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why not just run it over your pock-marked face? |

Wouldn't work, we use soap down here in Wales unlike you schemie cunts up North |

Hoorah! Someone else who uses the correct plural! I used to, but over time reverted to "mice" out of convention. Jar: fabric coated mouse mats work fine with optical mice. |

What the fuck's the problem with an ordinary mouse anyway? Is the exertion of pushing the ball around getting too much for you? Fucking wuss. |

hehe I hate optical mice/mouses/meeses. And tracker balls suck too =op |

I've got a fucking wireless optical mouse here and it fucking sucks. I don't know why they got one of those. One with a wire would've done. Anyway. Optical is great. Contrary to what Ceri has said about using them.. I use mine on a smooth plain surface with no texture and it goes a treat. |

Well my job entails utmost precision. It's no good drawing a 3D model of a building and giving it zig zag fucking walls. It's alright for you, the only precision you need to watch for is making sure all the food you serve goes on the kiddies plates. |
