    :D

    My arrow on the mouse is wiggling around on the screen about a half inch by itself and fast :hair: Googled it and I guess it happens but cant figure out how to stop it?

    Anyone know what I can do?

    Thanks eh!

    If it is wired.... Unplug the cable and plug it back in
    If it is wireless.... try changing the batteries. Turn mouse off and then back on. Try disconnecting the receiver and reconnecting.

    Do you have a wired one to try? That would rule out interference.
