    licked it clean? the average desk with keyboard mouse & mat harbour more germs than some public toilets!

    It is probably better to wipe it with a damp kitchen towel or similar. A smear of 'cleaning fluid' has probably dried out causing the light beam of the mouse to reflect incorrectly which causes the arrow to move about .

    What kind of mouse do you have?

    I tell you what, i finally bought a laser mouse several months back and it was the best thing i ever did. No need for a mouse pad and also it's really fast and far more responsive compared to how my tracker-ball one used to be.
