If I lift my mouse a few cm from the desk and I move it the cursor still responds. Only when the mouse is lifted more than +- 5cm does the cursor stop to respond.
This is not desired behavior I guess. I want the cursor to only respond if the mouse is in contact with a surface. Is there a way to fix this?

I believe this means that your mouse actually functions very well. You could use a surface that doesn't reflect a laser as well, which would be something with a darker color (absorbing some of the light, rather than reflecting it), if you really don't like this, but I don't think there is physically a way to turn the laser power down, so to speak.

1That or a sheet of glass or similar surface (plexi?) which allows the beam to pass through it and not reflect it back so much. – Blackbeagle – 2010-11-23T22:49:47.770
As the comments are indicating, this IS desired behavior. This mouse is too sensitive. Try a cheaper one. I'm curious why you're picking it up that much in the first place? – Shinrai – 2010-11-23T21:53:30.850
I use very low sensitivity when gaming, I pick up the mouse very often. This moving in the air causes confusion, unexpected behavior. – Tomasi – 2010-11-23T21:58:52.143
Just curious, what mouse do you use? I've used Razor, Logitech and Microsoft laser mice and never had them be that responsive. However, it still stands that your mouse is working as desired in my opinion. – Paul – 2010-11-24T14:03:00.870
Sharkoon FireGlider (3600 dpi). Really great value. This is my only complaint. – Tomasi – 2010-11-24T14:10:44.893
2if you are picking up the mouse because you've run out of room on your desk to move it in a particular direction you might want to consider increasing the mouse speed in windows and/or increasing the sensitivity in the games you play. this way you can move the cursor further on screen with less actual movement of the mouse – Xantec – 2010-11-24T15:36:05.557
alternatively you might try an optical thumb ball mouse – Xantec – 2010-11-24T15:37:45.383
I know your pain. I bought today new mouse and it's also this way. And incr. of mouse speed is not a solution cause in ffp you need to have precision (low speed) and speed movement (big distance) and you end up moving mouse up and away. So this is not desired when cursor moves when mouse is in the air. Still searching a solution. Nothing interesting here. – Tomasz Smykowski – 2011-04-23T19:30:36.713
