mouse trap

[flippin_waffles]

hiya peeps. i've a prob and i'm not sure if it is normal
or something wrong with my meese. i just bought a
wireless intellimouse explorer because it is more comfy
than my corded version. now, the problem be that whenever
i move the sucker real real slow, it won't track! i can
move it for 2 feet as long as i stay super slow with no
sudden jerks, it won't track. i tried a little proggy
called rate checker that shows the rate at which the
mouse is tracking. with my corded mouse it tracks and
displays 0Hz consistently when i move it real slow, but
it seems as soon as my cordless mouse hits 0 Hz it stops
moving and won't go again until i give it a little twitch
or move it faster.. do you think this is normal for this
kind of mouse? if so, it's extremely inconvenient, not to
mention somewhat of a waste of money. :(

Is this an infrared mouse (light underneath)? If so what is the surface you
are moving the mouse on? Some surfaces will not allow the mouse to
recognize that the mouse is in fact moving. There should be come
texture/color variation that the mouse can pick out. I have had problem
when I had a clean sheet of paper under my infrared mouse (too lazy to move
it before mousing) and also directly on top of a laminate desk. I now
always use a mouse pad (off white with cloth texture) and have no problem
moving one pixel at a time.
