Microsoft Wireless Mouse Problems
I picked up a Microsoft Wireless Mouse/Keyboard Combo (Wireless Optical Mouse 2000), and on my old wooden desk, it worked great.
I picked up a Z-Line Legacy Glass desk, and ever since then, the mouse is nothing but problems. Since its a glass desk, I bought a Mouse pad. The pointer essentially jumps. If I move the mouse fast, the pointer *Generally* works. If I'm going to click on a link, or change a song, adjust the volume, etc.. The pointer will usually just stay in one spot, then jump past what I was trying to do.
To solve this issue, I've changed USB Ports, Placed the receiver in multiple places (Including next to the mouse, on top of the desk, a few feet away, on the keyboard tray), pressed the connect buttons on the mouse and receiver multiple times, and changed the batteries. On the other hand, the keyboard works great with no issues.
The only things I can think of that can be the issue would be either the mouse pad is a piece of junk (A black fellowes microban one), or since the desk is glass and metal, I'm getting interference between the mouse and sensor, but I want to rule that out since the keyboard is working fine.
Any ideas on the issue? I was going to try my wired mouse on the mouse pad to see if that helps the issue, but I paid enough to have the wireless combo I don't want to loose it, but can't deal with how unresponsive the mouse is.
Thanks in advance.
