Hello there, so recently, well today, my mouse has suddenly started changing sensitivity, its not mouse acceleration (I don't think) as it does this when it is enabled and disabled, I'm struggling to find out why it's doing this.

So for example, on the windows desktop, if I move my mouse left to right at a steady pace, every 2-3 Seconds it will eventually jump left or right unexpectedly, I noticed this first in games but it is also doing it on the desktop. Any ideas why?

Give it a good cleaning to make sure nothing is getting in the way of your sensors. Also could be the connection. Try it with a USB extender for the wireless receiver and put that right next to your mouse and try it then.

Then that exhausts my bank of ideas. My mice experience is with the switches not the laser. Sorry. GL

Well receiver get interference is all I can think off. But maybe it is updates messing stuff up?

I was thinking this but I don't know what it could interfere with as nothing has changed and I haven't updated anything

Line of sight. Could be something silly like a cannister. But do you use a extension for the receiver so it's not behind PC?

The cable is long enough so it sits right infront of my mouse essentially

Anyway have you checked out updates for drivers or stuff that might mess stuff up..
