Cursor jump: Any ideas on what is causing this?

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.

Have you turned off your touchpad? It's easy to move the cursor around accidentally with one hand while mousing with the other.

This is not how mine behaves. Mine actually holds the top position such that it feels like you are going to break it just before it moves down a click. Perhaps they were trying to remedy my extreme and resulted in yours.

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.

Have only used on win 7. Can also tell you the mouse no longer works. Jumps around, sometimes nothing. Turns out there are many online posts with folks having the same problem; lots of potential fixes suggested, but for me, none worked.

I have not experienced that. I have seen that in the past with older PCs/laptops where the system was so bogged down that typing and mouse movements were delayed. I'm typing with it now and everything is "live" and in synch.

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.

No. It's really touchy, jumps from one application to another really annoyingly. Might be more the operating system than the computer, though.

I have had the same issue. I press the shift key or another key to stop it. I'm not sure how to fix it.

Try turning off number lock by default in the computer's BIOS. That's probably why it's doing this. And you should be able to do that within the session by pressing the number lock key on the keyboard.

I've had no issues with motion skipping since I've had it. I just made sure to download the latest drivers and firmware for the mouse after I plugged it in. I would easily recommend this mouse if that was something holding you back from buying it.

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.

mine scroll like this, go down 15 lines, you move fingers, it jump up 10 lines.sometimes you just touch 2 fingers to the pad, it "scrolls" up or down, its choice.

Never had a problem like that. The keys are sensitive, you may have touched it lightly and caused it to double click. Try hitting more firmly. This has been the best gaming keyboard I've ever owned!! Of course I own the Deluxe Apex, not the raw.

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.

CHange the sensitivity on the mouse pad, that's usually the cause of that problem, I have had the same laptop for 3 yrs now and I had to do it with this same model, problem solved. Or try and keep you hands away from the touchpad when typing. Its not a defective product, its defective typing b the owner basically. But if you change the built in mouse to be very slow it stops the problem, just too sensitive is all.
