The incredible lightness of laptop mice
Did you ever mis-click because your lightweight mini mouse "twitched"
under your fingers while over an icon? I am in no way ascribing connotations other than weight to the objects I'm about to mention, but scotch taping a couple of 9mm bullets to the back top of the mouse really improved its performance. |

I feel the opposite, if a corded mouse has a steel weight screwed inside to make it heavier, I take that weight out. If a cordless mouse that runs on 2 x AA cells can run on only one (oddly many put the two cells in parallel instead of series) then I put only one in. Depends on how you move your mouse I suppose, once mice became pretty high in resolution I switched to leaving my palm planted on the mousepad and moving the mouse with only finger movements and sight palm swivels. Did you know there is a setting you can adjust for how much the mouse is allowed to move while hovering over an object? That may be the better fix for your situation. Presuming you use windows, install TweakUI (any decent search engine should find it) and adjust the Mouse- Hover Sensitivity and Time, and the Double-Click and Drag settings. |

So it seems you either have a poor mousing surface so there are multiple reflection paths, or you have a muscle tremor. If the latter, determine the cause. While it can come with older age, it could be a sign of an illness/medical problem, anxiety, previously working with machines that vibrate a lot (holding them in your hands it can cause hand tremors after done using that machine for a little while) or just too much caffeine. |
