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.

It's not the touchpad - it's your thumb. I had the same problem until I realized that I was letting my thumbs drop when typing. The cursor jumps to where the mouse pointer is when you're typing. Like most of my problems - it's between the keyboard and the chair.

I have not had this problem at all. I am a heavy user, my keyboard sees lots of action

Does the arrow jump to the corner or does the mouse just not fo anything? You probably hust have to restart your computer and then it should be fine. When i first had mine, every now and again it stopped functioning and had to restart, I think my mac just had to 'get used to it'

I agree! I have started using the tap feature of the touchpad (two fingers for right click). I works OK for most things once you get used to it but for quick response in a game, I have to connect an external mouse (trackball in my case).

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.

I have! It's extremely annoying. Any luck with fixing it? I bought my mouse in January 2014.

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.

Rarely, if ever. Besides, you can turn off the touchpad if it bothers your typing. I believe there might be an option to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad as well.

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.

You may need to overclock your mouse. I also recommend a 5th gen Core-i9, and a very good and updated anti-virus to prevent false positives.

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.

It should work very normally. I can only guess. Maybe you have software running in the background? spyware or other interfearing with it? You would have to define "smoothly". Spyware can cause lagging from when you move the mouse to when the cursor moves. Try it on more than one computer to make sure it is the mouse and not the computer it is being used on.

Do you mean on-screen smoothness? I find it smooth, but unfortunately it has excessive drift after acceleration. This could just be a problem with mine, but it's pretty annoying on a larger screen. This is well beyond the 'standard' trackpoint drift that corrects itself quicky.

I experienced this on my second for a few days then it went away. I made sure the machine was on solid wood floor (I inserted a flat square board below it to ensure the sensitivity adjustment ring is resting on firm ground. I also lifted the globe and repositioned it somehow that did it. Also check the sensitivity setting - move it to somewhat less sensitive setting.) I hope this helps.

It may be set too sensitive. There are adjustment dials to adjust the sensitivity. The instructions explain how to adjust it.
