My Computer Mouse Is Moving on Its Own And...?
My computer mouse is moving on its own and...?
Before you listen to other comments and go buy a new mouse, try the following options: Clean the mouse laser, use a cotton bud and just clean the litter circle thing on the bottom of the mouse that looks like a camera lens. If none of these options work perhaps the mouse laser is faulty and the mouse need's replacing. Hope these steps will help you, good luck.

My Computer Mouse Always Freezing Up?
circulate to the manufactures web site and acquire their mouse motive force onto a flash force, then run it on the computing device which you are having problems with. If that fails, then all of us else is suited, you may desire to get a clean mouse. (i prefer to advise Logitech mice)

Will a computer mouse work if it has been dropped in the water?
Not likely - unlike natures mice, electronic ones do not like water. You could put in the hot water cupboard and dry it out and see what happens

Do you use a computer mouse? And if you do what mouse would you recommend?
I use two different kinds with regularity. I have a Logitech MX series rechargeable for my laptop, and a Razer Deathadder Chroma on my gaming desktop. I love both and they are both great for the different purposes that I use them.

Can someone control my writing with my computer mouse?
It's very unlikely that this is a sign that your computer has been in any way hijacked or maliciously violated. If you are concerned about this, disconnect from the internet and watch. Does it still happen? If so then no one is actively doing it. If you are concerned about a malicious program get a good antivirus program (microsoft has one on their website or look up avast or agn, or any other number of trust worthy ones which are free to download and use) and run it. If it's bad code, it's probably common and the antivirus will probably notice it. Unless you are doing something really, really, really interesting (say, building nukes in your basement) the chance of someone writing a really rare virus just for you are nil. Does it move in a similar way? (say always toward a certain corner of the screen or always with a similar jerky frequency) If so that's even more of a sign that it's nothing to worry about save that it's going to be annoying and may get worse over time. Your mouse input device (probably a touchpad?) is getting some erratic input. While a software issue is slight possibility, it's probably hardware. A number of things can cause this - if it go overhot and traces on a circuit card could have been damaged. Capacitors in filters age and become less reliable. Maybe you spilled something on it or got food in it a while back that may have caused a minor short inside? (I notice effects similar to what it sounds like you are describing if I use my touchpad when my fingers are wet, though after drying out, it goes away) Depending on what is causing it, it may go away as mysteriously as it came (say the debris theory) or it may get worse over time until it becomes unusable. You may also be getting signal interference from something near by. Think...did you set up a new piece of electronics nearby? If you move it around it is worse in a certain room? I had a friends computer who would buzz about 5 seconds before her cellphone would start ringing...pretty funny. There are things you can do (open up the computer and blow it out with compressed air) but it may or may not be worth it to you. As for your main concern though - no probably not being invaded by someone taking over your computer.

My [computer] mouse sometimes locks when I'm moving it around, what could be wrong with it? [see details]?
Its probably a faulty mouse. Go out and buy a new optical one. those are the best and can be used on almost any surface that is flat

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a new computer mouse?
An old mouse generally has a build up of gunk (if you are a regular gamer like me) this can be cleaned to a degree but if you are buying cheap (u00a36 wired) just replace it. If you are buying a serious mouse (12 customisable functions etc) there's a lot to be gained, but only if you need it otherwise the money is wasted.New wireless mice have, on average, better range/compatibility than the older variants but again that depends on your basic compared to high end. In my opinion it all comes down to 1 thing, do you want a mouse to be a point and click device, nice cheap n simple or do you want it to be capable of far more (as far as multimedia/gaming/editing is concerned) and spend that bit extra?PeaceWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of using a new computer mouse?
