Mouse acting strange

So as you can see on the screenshot, the ColorPix software thinks that my mouse pointer is on the emoji button on LTT, however it is really where the red circle is (sorry, my screenshoting software removed the mouse pointer). It does this system-wide. It still clicks where the mouse pointer is, but it messes up the eyedropper function on some programs.

 

HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got an Android, never going back to apple again (notice I spelled apple with a lowercase and Android with an uppercase)

That's interesting.. 
Firstly try re installing mouse drivers, that is the most likely cause.

Maybe something wrong with the screen or resolution? Also try switching USB port.

 

EDIT: Do you have a laptop or desktop PC? If you have a laptop, try to disable trackpad while using external mouse.

Feed your mouse to the cat and get new one
