When i put my mouse down and don't move it, it starts to squiggle and move around slightly? Does that mean my mouse is going?

Check if anything is in the sensor. Check if there's anything on the mousepad/desk/whatever you use. Try a different USB slot. What mouse is it?

I don't see anything in the sensor, I've tried multiple surfaces and it still does it, tried different slots, its a Gigabyte M6800

It could just be that it's lazer, and higher DPI's also sometimes squiggle the mouse when you set them down. I know for sure 400 doesn't. Did you try cleaning or wiping off the lazer on the mouse?

 

It could also be the surface you're using it on.
