Hello

I recently purchased a Steelseries Apex keyboard and a Sensei (Pro) mouse. The keyboard is working perfectly but I'm having issues with the mouse.

The cursor will move across the screen even when the mouse is stationary. When I do move the mouse, the movements are quite erratic and difficult to control, often resulting in a battle with the mouse to get the cursor to move in the direction I want.

I thought this may have been due to my mouse mat (I was using a cheap £1 mousemat) so I bought the SteelSeries Surface QcK Mini. While being a much nicer to use, this has not fixed the issue. I have played with CPI settings, disabling pointer precision in the control panel, etc., but nothing has made a difference.

I read on the Steelseries FAQ that the recommended mousepad for the Sensei is the 4HD, but the FAQ also states that cloth mousepads are 100% compatible too; so I am doubtful that is the issue.

Also, I have updated the mouse's firmware to the latest release.

Any ideas what could be causing this and any way it could be resolved? Anyone had this issue? I cannot use the mouse in its current state and may have to return it to the supplier if I can't get it sorted soon.

These so-called gaming peripherals are turning out to be more hassle than they are worth. Oh, how I miss my old Intellimouse Optical :D 

Thanks in advance.

your mouse is being mind controlled by a necromancer in the 26th dimension, return it before it does any more damage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, I didn't consider that. They must still be angry about the incident with the toads.
