drifting mouse + insubordinate keyboard

[SalTheButcher]

my mouse from time to time decides to move upwards unprovoked, while the mouse is completley idle...

and this keyboard refuses to let the a button be pushed at the same time as up arrow and left arrow...

WTF > > >

[spade]

Here my very intelligent suggestion to you mate



That means your keyboard is very smart and it knows what's the right keys to be pushed and it doesn't want to be pushed around.

Just follow your keyboard and stop complaining or sell it to Bradford and buy another one

I bet you have a sliding keyboard tray and it is on the move with the wires jammed.

Your keyboard is fine, why would you want to press the A key and the up arrow?

[Green Burger]

What would A + Up Arrow do for you? I don't understand?


Your mouse moves on its own? Have you considered the possibility that your house may be haunted?

I can't believe you remembered that Spade!!!

Mine mouse used to do the same thing.
It doesn't now, I dont' know why. I didn't change anything.

Hey Sal, do you have one of these newfangled optical mousies?
I use mine without a mouse-pad, & the cursor did used to just take a walk to the right when I wasn't touching it, but now it doesn't.
IF yours is new, maybe it will calm down later like mine did.

[SalTheButcher]

i mean that when you hold down the up and left arrow you cant press A, when you do it makes the soundcard BEEP

its not a sliding keyboard tray, its a stationary surface, but that only happens like once every 2-3 days

Your mouse moves on the desk by its self or the pointer on the screen moves.

One means you have a polterguist and one means that you either have a dirty mouse ball/rollers (all teh sweat nd grime gets rolled up into there... ) or a shiny mouse mat/cheap optical mouse which is making the laser sensor go crazy.

Do you have one of those holographic mouse mats or a really shiny one? it makes the laser inside your mouse reflect wrong sometimes.

[brad4dboxer]

Hahaha!!!
A moving mouse, I would squish without conscience.

Mine didn't have a rollerball.
It was one of those new optical laser ones.
I don't know how the focker works at all anyway.

But it is real pretty.

How old is it, its either time to give up the ghost or you've got spyware/virus/corrupt Mouse driver files or somethng on your PC.

i think the issue is with the laser that shoots between the lines on the wheel thing, it hasnt happened since the day i posted this though...
wtf...

the mad face has changed so all the mads that were put prior to the change are now reduced to this >

that makes me

[CutMeMick]

ooooppppsss!!!!

[AdamGB]

maybe it was ghosts, when they learned about this thread they thought they would fuck off before you called the ghost busters?

[hitmanhatton]

if u have a wireless mouse it goes to the top of the screen when the batteries are low cus mine does it also

[X]

I had to call IT because my mouse was on the end of the mousepad, but I still wanted to move the cursor further along the screen.
