my acer iconia mouse would move by itself randomly around the screen, why is that?

I've found that this symptom usually occurs when you accidentally have your palm or another finger touching the screen at the same time. The computer can't figure out which one to use.

Because your unite is defective, as mine. If you are still under warranty I suggest sending it back and demand it fix asap. Tell them if its not fix you want a refund!! Otherwise I have a link to a video you may find interesting......notebookforums.c o m/t/241185/acer-iconia-6120-ghost-touch-video-tutorial-solution

after i send it back to acer 3 times they send me a new one cause they can't fix it, but the new one didn't solve the problem, the pointer jumping around, the browser close by it self and zooming in and out,i can'tuse it for work ,once the browser close every thing that i type will be lost and have to start it all over, it's a piece of junk that i paid $1000 for it, i ask for the money back and they refuse, they ask me to send it back for repair and i refuse. avoid all acer product.

mine does also for about 5 seconds then returns to normal... i think it's a problem that every iconia has, however i have noticed that my INTEL turbo metre goes up when the random mouse clicking happens

Keri: I have Vista, so I cannot answer your question; however, I am having a heck of a time with this mouse. It moves my internet page up and down, and that is difficult when you are playing a game online, especially when you are playing with someone else. I don't know if it is because I installed IE9, but I am very unhappy with this mouse. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question.

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

"The mouse is always more in less in the same place, and sometimes it will be fine for a number of days, then everything locks."It could still be interference. Day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute, bring variance to an electronuc environment, even in "more in less the same place." Do try clearing your mouse area and a two-foot circumference of electronics.Of course, in the last year, surely your issue has been settled. I post for others with this issue....

my mouse didn't work regularly either. I couldn't tell if it was the keyboard or the tablet. I haven't tried to resolve it. sorry I couldn't be more help.

The mouse should move up and down and sideways and when you click on the mouse it should choose your options. My daughter's works great. Maybe you for a faulty one.

yes the installed drivers set up virtual network so you might say the mouse has its own channel. sometimes in a hot spot the mouse will cut out for a couple seconds.

Hi, I had the same problem with the random disconnects, I tried quite of few things but could not correct. I stopped using the Bluetooth mouse.

I usually right click (which doesn't register), but moving it works too, takes a moment longer. I know the root of your question, and it's not an annoying mouse in that way.

When that happens to me, I realize it's because one of my thumbs touched the trackpad--and I agree it's a pain in the components. I'll bet there is a setting to turn off the trackpad somewhere (I use a real wired mouse), but I've managed to live with it well enough so far.

You're probably hitting the mouse pad accidentally. I did that at first. It took me a little time to adjust to the keyboard but don't have any problems now.

No, I haven't had that problem, just the issue of every time the mouse doesn't move for a few minutes, or after turning the machine on, it's frozen and I have to click a bunch to wake it up so I can see and move it around. I'm thinking this is not a very high-quality mouse, though, after hearing your problems in addition. Hmm. Sorry I can't be of more help.

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.

yes. it happens to me too rarely though. I suspect is the software and not the keyboard it self. I also use the arrows to drive.

I have only seen this happen if I hit the Control key AND mpove the scroll on the mouse at the same time.

I have a new laptop and initially the controls were easy to use, now I'm having issues using the laptop "mouse" for something that is necessary to continue playing. It's very aggravating!

You'll want to download the driver from atheros from the acer website. Just go to http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers and download the driver, make sure you get rid of the driver currently there. This was a really annoying problem for me, but its been fine since i solved it. Good Luck
