Mouse Freak-Outs-

[i.Angel]

Hey guys.

I just recently had a LAN party and I've been having problems with my mouse during gaming. I'll be in the middle of a fire fight on CS:S and all of a sudden my mouse will freak out and I will start to spin in circles until I move the mouse quiet a bit...

Could this be a motherboard issue? It has to be since it's the only one that reads the mouse...

I'd say its more likely a dodge mouse... is it optical? if so i could be as simple as your mouse pad or lack of, as some optical mice HATE lots of color under them or even certain surfaces!!

Yes, I wouldn't recommend trying to use a mirror as a mousemat It is almost certainly a mouse issue, as Seth says.

it may be that its not a USB mouse. the p4 connection can do that from time to time.

I have the same problem. I have a cheap Microsoft USB mouse
