Erratic mouse movement

[Doopywoopy]

I have the mionix naos 7000 and it has been working perfectly until yesterday. I was working with an older laptop and when I plugged the mouse in I noticed that the cursor was moving randomly. I thought it was just the computer being silly and so I unplugged it and continued using the laptop. I now tried to use the mouse on my computer at work and it has the same jittery behaviour. I tried cleaning the sensor in case debris was obstructing it but it hasn't helped. The mouse also only goes erratic when on a surface ( when upside down there is no movement)

 

In the video that I linked I have the mouse upside down and have my finger over the sensor to show how it behaves. (mouse is set to 50 dpi so you can see how it moves) 

 

 

TLDR: mouse acting funny and doesn't appear to be caused by stuff on the sensor

What surface is the mouse being used on? If you are using it on an uneven or unsmooth surface, it can cause inaccurate or jittery mouse movement.

Hey,

 

I would go with sensor failure there if it happening on multiple devices.

Happens on any surface. Black mouse mat, grey desk, sheet of paper etc.

Yeah I'm hoping its not this, but maybe. The mouse is only a few months old so I'm hoping there is something else that could be blamed.

 

thanks for the quick replies

That mouse does seem like the type to kill itself over a video game...huehuehue.

You could get another under warranty, or...well you know.

Not sure what caused the random failure. It has fell the the floor a few times but nothing too serious. I've contacted Mionix support and hoping I can get an rma or something. Not quite understanding that last part.
