I have a really annoying problem with my mighty mouse since a couple of weeks now. When moving my mouse (mightymouse) sometimes it jumps (about once in 30minutes) directly to a (propably) random spot of my screen. I cleaned the mightymouse several times and there is definately no hair or the like, and the desk is not the problem as well - I have the same problem with my other mighty mouse at home. Since I don't have any other mouse i couldn't test whether this relates to the mighty mouse or the mouse in general.
Has anyone experienced such issues as well? Is there a solution?
Greetings
btw: Mac OS X 10.6.4
update
I confirm that the surface is not the problem. I used a sheet of paper and the problem remained.

what surface are you using ? Does it improve when using something underneath that's easier to track ? – Sirex – 2011-01-05T10:44:43.930
I don't think the surface is a problem. I know by experience how the mouse behaves on gradients or the like on the surface. It's not a weird movement, rather an instant jump that comes from time to time and cannot be reproduced by simply moving over the same spot again. Nevertheless I'll use a sheet of paper to absolutely exclude the surface as a problem. – Nils Riedemann – 2011-01-05T11:05:17.120
post updated. Surface is not the problem… – Nils Riedemann – 2011-01-05T11:40:10.910
It's not the stuttering described here, is it? I know that's about the magic mouse, but it just sounded so similar.

It would be useful to use a different mouse to test if the problem persists. I would ask that you make every effort to do so. – None – 2011-01-05T17:56:09.693
