Author Topic: My new mouse is being a jittery starfish. Can anyone suggest a new one?  (Read 619 times)

My mouse is loving up. I thought it was the batteries. It wasn't.
I thought my mousepad might be too dirty or something. (it got dusty as hell and i dont know how)
I had to bang on the mouse to click new topic. It began working again then forgeted up.
Simply put, the mouse just jitters in movement as I try to move. Often it is unresponsive. I've looked and it seems to be a problem with the laser flickering. I'm not sure if three consecutive batteries were all cheap (two were of one brand, one was energizer) or this thing is just loving handicapped. If you have a fix, please tell! It's a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000. If you've used one, it works great so I want one like this.
If this is unfixable, then I'll buy a new one, so suggest some good mouses that have two buttons and a scroll wheel, and will work on mac.
tl;dr: mouse loving up, not battery problem. laser problem. if you can fix make it known.

thanks for taking the trouble, though :D

If you're looking to buy a new mouse that isn't some ub3r l33t gaming one I'd just say go to Best Buy or Walmart and get one there.

This is my mouse; I really like it. My friend got the mirror edition of it, and he likes it too.
But don't buy it from that site because you can get it for much less.

it is very comfortable
the indentations are under the surface, the mouse itself is smooth
also note i said "any kind of gaming at all"

I don't know how people can use mouses with more than just right click, left click, and middle mouse scroller thing. I've tried using one of those before, and I kept hitting every single one of the other buttons. It also looks really bad, not that that really matters.

the forward and backward buttons are above the place where your thumb rests, the other extra buttons are located far enough from the scroll wheel that you won't accidentally hit them too much

Not the way I hold my mouse. I usually have my middle finger laying down when just browsing the web or something, and my thumb hits it anyway.
