Erratic cursor: Is there a sensitivity setting I should be using?
551560
I've had this happen on other non-Acer computers and the only thing I can attribute it to is programs running in the background take an active blip for a second, thus causing the cursor to move/disappear. Then, I must shake the mouse, or tap the pad, to resume control of the cursor.

Your palm could be bumping the touchpad. I know this happens to me a lot. I also have this same netbook and noticed I am bumping the touchpad more often.

There is a mouse lock icon that I occasionally hit. It is on the touch pad. At first I thought It was broken, but it was just that.

You will get a warranty but good luck getting them to actually resolve your problem. We have been fighting with them for months to fix the well known issues with the cursor randomly selecting things or moving. see my review.

Every once in a while the mouse will "wander" or "drift". It's correctable by unplugging it then re-plugging it in to the USB port. I've not noticed any problems specifically with the scroll wheel. I've also never mapped any of the other buttons, so I can't say how well they work.

is a switch to select the speed of the cursor movement or DPI, but does not work very well ..!

Sorry, but I'm old-fashioned and usually use a mouse. However, I can turn the touchpad on or off using "Control" with the (F6) key; you might try that.

If you are running Windows, open the "Pen Table Properties" control panel and adjust the sensitivity there.

If you go to setting you can colobrate your screen sensitivity, hope that helps!

Spotty response to double click... I stopped using it and went back to traditional mouse.

It could be that you're hitting the sides rather than the center; since the bottom side serve a as left-right click buttons in a mouse, you generally have to click towards the center of touchpad. I've experienced what you say, but I figured it out by trial and error.

Have not had a problem at all. I use this mouse for shooter games, I would have noticed that problem immediately and would have returned it.

I dont use it too often, but i wish you could adjust the speed of the cursor. It works well but i usually resort back to the computer mouse.

Not a clue. You can try going to 'mouse properties' and speeding up mouse by moving speed lever all the way over.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

It happens a bit. The keyboard is sensitive. But I get the same issue with cell phone keyboards as well.

Ghenghis, I appreciate the suggestions, but I can assure you it is not a memory problem - at least in my case. I do monitor my system and have no such issues. I did not have the middle-button problem with any other mouse, nor did I have a problem loading a page using the left or right mouse keys on the particular mouse in question.Again, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. I hope you have (or have had) a better experience with this model of mouse.
