Maybe you should switch to hairspray.

Did you check for dust and try to clean it or anything? There might be some dirt or something in it that keeps getting in the way....

Maybe use a mousepad and see if it does any good bacause the surface you use it on might be uneven or something and it could cause the mouse to do some strange things.

It might even be the game messing up or something if it only happens when your playing a game...

I'm not a mouse expert or anything, so if none of this helps then i don't know what to tell you....

I dont know what kind of surface your using your mouse on....but you might want to try putting a white peice of paper under it. Opticals dont like being on dark surfaces, because the light can't reflect.

I use a mouse pad on my optical. It just works smoother than my wood grain desk. Might wanna uninstall the drivers and reinstall them, doubt it will make a diff but maybe something is corrupted and causing it to wack out.

I have a optic that I run on any surface. Even on my butt and it doesnt mess up LOL. Have you looked into the idea of it being lag related ? I dont think its a problem with your mouse. It should be a happy camper.

It may sound silly but does your mouse have conventional plug in and usb.
I had problems with mine using the usb plug and switched over and since np.

my first thought was also ......lag.

and now i am pretty sure it is. cause it only happens when i'm playing games.

yeah it's an USB one but i never plugged it into one of my USB outputs. i trust my PS/2 more.
