Question

Why does my cursor keep jumping around?

Answer 1

john's got it right.

Answer 2

that would depend on the kind of mouse you have. a old ball mouse could be the ball either needs cleaned or the rollers are worn out. if it is a battery laser pointer mouse your batteries could need changed or the lens over the eye needs cleaned. mouse maintenance is easy but is required to have a good working mouse.

Answer 3

if you have a ball mouse clean the ball and rollers inside the mouse. If you have optical make sure theyr's no junk blocking the lazer. If its wireless optical...maybe the sensor that picks up your wireless mouse is in a bad spot. And use a good mousepad....any mouse will suck without one.

Answer 4

It could be that you need a mouse pad, or the ball in the mouse isnt placed properly or needs to be cleaned.

Answer 5

It is usually a bad battery. If its wired you can open mouse in the control panel and check your settings.
