Alright, I just noticed this, and it's extremely annoying. When I move my mouse slightly up it moves 2px instead of just one. Anyone know why?
Fix your DPI. What mouse?
A Dynex CM12 :v: Never had to do anything with the DPI before. And I'm not even sure I can change it, haha. Looks like I'll have to be getting another one soon, this one has lasted forever now.
Well I have no idea. [editline]07:24PM[/editline] Turn pointer precision/mouse acceleration off. [editline]07:24PM[/editline] And is that an optical mouse? That would have something to do with it as well. [editline]07:25PM[/editline] oh wow nice mouse lol

Yeah, it's an optical mouse and yeah it's nice too haha.
Get a G5.
I had that problem many moons ago with one of my mice. It turned out to be a driver problem with the input devices, which was fixed by reinstalling the HID devices in the device manager.

it's fucking optical: [b][i][u][highlight]no[/highlight][/u][/i][/b]
I'm a fan of the MX518 myself.
G5 4ever
G5 is the best mouse I have gotten so far. I only had crappy ones though.
Yeah asking about a problem with your mouse only ends up with 3 legit answers and 63 other replies of what that user has for a mouse and why it's better than any other mouse ever. :rolleyes:

Make sure the pointer speed is set right in the middle. In the middle it's a 1:1 ratio of mouse to cursor movement, any higher and you can start skipping pixels.
Yeah, lower sensitivity. As IpHa said you are moving more than a pixel per point of precision your mouse has. I find pointer sensitivity to be nice, means you can be super precise when you move slowly and still move the cursor across the screen fast. Just enabling that would probably solve your problem right there and then.
Wow, and extra pixel... let's all panic about it. It's not the end of the world unless you're sculpting an MSpaint masterpiece. Just install your mouse's software suite. sure it's usually just bloatware, but it might help.

[QUOTE=compwhizii;16493066]It's kind of annoying when your mouse is moving twice as fast as it should.[/QUOTE] Slow it down then under the mouse properties. Problem solved. I've only had it happen to me in XP, never Vista or 7.
G9. /thread.
[img]http://imgkk.com/i/EYKiRO.png[/img] [b] This is the answer for anyone that has this problem: set the mouse speed slider in windows mouse settings exactly to the middle setting. This way, if the optical sensor in your mouse detects a 1 pixel movement, the cursor on the monitor will move for exactly 1 pixel. If you select any other speeds, your mouse movement will be interpolated. [/b] If you have to adjust the speed of your mouse, change the DPI whenever possible.
