Mouse Issue - lagging

noUnity · 16 Mar 2010

I have a standard HP laser mouse, and when i use it on a flat wood surface, some of the axis's get laggy. When i move it on the Y axis its perfect, but sometimes the X axis it does not register. Is there a common problem having to deal with the mouse? It's not the mouses fault, because on a completely flat bedsheet it works perfectly, its only on wood that this problem occurs. Anyone have help?

Thanks.

The woodgrain is messing up the calculation of position. I have seen the same issue of different surfaces. Glass is horrible on some mice. get a thin mousepad with no images or patterns on it and the lag will go away. If you dont like the fabric mousepads, there are hardplastic coated mousepads too.
