LOGITECH HCA43003661 MOUSE JUMPING AROUND SCREEN SOFTWARE
Trying different types of surfaces, using fancy software tools, going through forum after forum - all to solve a problem that shouldn't occur with a straightforward, but hugely expensive, piece of kit after it has passed the test at the manufacturer. It seems they grew very lazy and arrogant - given their big rival has long since stopped listening to customers and give their financial success they probably think they can afford. I think it is outrageous, if you see how many of us have similar problems with various types of mice / mouses (my laser mouse is dancing a mix of Samba and a Fast Walz - no way I hit anything I'm aiming at) without Apple really getting to grips with it. The ball has been less apt to gunk up now that I press harder all the time. I can push down harder to scroll without making a click. I recently turned off the mouse setting - ball as a button- (in system preferences> keyboard/mouse> mouse>change center drop down to "off"). It took about 30 minutes of to get mine working again, probably cause I like to read emails and news while eating fried chicken. let the mouse dry a while before power up. I even added a bit of dish soap to the minute amount of water. careful not to have too much moisture so as to get water inside. Unplug mouse, tiny bit of moisture on a cloth, mouse upside down, rub wheel, all directions, rinse cloth, rub some more. Only thing, you have to do it for a long time to lift the gunk out of the housing. I tried taking it apart, but that is ridiculously silly and besides, you have to glue it back together. The apple recommended cleaning works best.
