I use laptops, this is the second computer Ive had with a wild mouse, it wants jump around all over, anyone else had this problem?

Every mouse, both conventional and optical

It sucks

Yes - occasionally my mouse takes the cursor to the corner of the screen where the exit button is just when I'm ready to click something. Frequently it happens when I'm on the org, but maybe that is just because I'm on the org so often. Or maybe it's that my mouse is trying to tell me something...

yesterday the touchpad on my laptop was driving me insane
i could barely keep myself from throwing the computer into the wall
before i managed to get the damn thing shut off.

you could move the pointer just fine but as soon as you lifted your finger the pointer would float away. it took at least a minute to move the pointer across the screen and once you were on top of your button you hand to use your thumb to click the button.

at least after i shut it down and let it and myself cool for a while it seemed to go back to working normally.

Sometimes I lose the cursor on my computer, and it's the weirdest thing! I'll move my mouse around, but I don't see the arrow on my screen. I have to shut my computer all the way down and turn it back on again to correct the problem. Weird!

I use a trackball with my laptop. works fine.

serious question, what is a trackball and where can I find one?

I use to have that problem before I got my cordless mouse.
