Erratic cursor: Is there a sensitivity setting I should be using?
551560
I've had this happen on other non-Acer computers and the only thing I can attribute it to is programs running in the background take an active blip for a second, thus causing the cursor to move/disappear. Then, I must shake the mouse, or tap the pad, to resume control of the cursor.

You will get a warranty but good luck getting them to actually resolve your problem. We have been fighting with them for months to fix the well known issues with the cursor randomly selecting things or moving. see my review.

Hey there, OK this is from the info that came with this unit..... " The type of hand-held intelligent mouse resolution is adjustable, due to the 2 usages, so the mouse designed four group DPI. The higher value of DPI, the faster movement of cursor. The resolution of mouse factory default is the trackball 600 DPI, use on table 1200 DPI. Use a toothpick, inserted the DPI hole to adjust. Press once for green light for 600 trackball, table 1600 DPI. Press again for red light, trackball 800 DPI, table 1600 DPI. Press 3rd time for red and green light for trackball 400, table 1000 DPI" So, it is adjustable, you can also use a paper clip unbend, there is a 1.5mm hole on the flat side to adjust the speed. I haven't used it in a while, but I just happened to recharge and use it, just before i read this email, funny hahaha It takes a little time to get used to it, but I love it. As I said in my review, It does get very warm while charging, so keep an eye on it when you do.... I hope this answers your questions, Good Luck, Happy Holidays K

Spotty response to double click... I stopped using it and went back to traditional mouse.

CHange the sensitivity on the mouse pad, that's usually the cause of that problem, I have had the same laptop for 3 yrs now and I had to do it with this same model, problem solved. Or try and keep you hands away from the touchpad when typing. Its not a defective product, its defective typing b the owner basically. But if you change the built in mouse to be very slow it stops the problem, just too sensitive is all.

Same problems here: middle clicks are often ignored, and when they do register, there is a very noticeable delay. Trying to use this mouse with GIMP (a graphics editor) is a nightmare.

I experienced this on my second for a few days then it went away.I made sure the machine was on solid wood floor (I inserted a flat square board below it to ensure the sensitivity adjustment ring is resting on firm ground. I also lifted the globe and repositioned it somehow that did it. Also check the sensitivity setting - move it to somewhat less sensitive setting.)I hope this helps.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

I don't know exactly what the problem is, there may be an adjustment knob for sensitivity. I but bought two of these a year ago and found their performance very disappointing. I returned them for a full refund. They are just too light weight.

Ghenghis, I appreciate the suggestions, but I can assure you it is not a memory problem - at least in my case. I do monitor my system and have no such issues. I did not have the middle-button problem with any other mouse, nor did I have a problem loading a page using the left or right mouse keys on the particular mouse in question.Again, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. I hope you have (or have had) a better experience with this model of mouse.

My scrolling with the mouse wheel is very steady with no choppiness. Possibly you might try to change your mouse settings to either more lines or less lines of movement for each scroll. Hope that helps.

I use setting 18, But it really is a matter of taste. :tip,: if you adjust, use two clicks ether way at a time. lower is finer. Higher is courser <-- less bold.

I had the same issue in Windows 8.1. There was a microsoft update that caused it to become "jittery" on the screen. Don't know the update, but I ended up using it on a Windows 7 PC and everything is fine. The other thing you can look at is the settings for the mouse itself and turn up the sensitivity, and turn off "enhance pointer precision" (if using windows)

You're probably hitting the mouse pad accidentally. I did that at first. It took me a little time to adjust to the keyboard but don't have any problems now.

I actually have the same problem, minus the cats. My sensitivity is at a 4. Best thing to do is try all sensitivity levels or wait til they update firmware.

I haven't had an issue with that personally. That is only going to be an issue if you don't maximize the mouses potential at a higher dpi setting anyways. I usually have right in the middle which I believe is 4200dpi? Anyways one of the best mice I have ever owned especially for the price. Haven't had a single issue with it

It's not the touchpad - it's your thumb. I had the same problem until I realized that I was letting my thumbs drop when typing. The cursor jumps to where the mouse pointer is when you're typing. Like most of my problems - it's between the keyboard and the chair.
