But are yours cordless too? Yes, I've heard that, and also a dark surface is bad for batteries (if it's cordless). I have a dark blue pad, but temp. put a white paper towel over it. It works a bit better too but it's still jerky at times. The jerkiness was not due to it being optical, since my cordless balled mouse does it too. -Clint

A very shiny surface can cause problems in operation according to the manual for my latest one. I have one each on my desktop and the laptop (laptop built in pooped out <G>) and neither is jerky. Both are running on a smooth wood surface, but not polished. Keith Thompson "[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Clint Hamilton" wrote: > > I hate when that happens! ;-) > > Oh Ok, then that is an optical mouse.
