Why is any mouse I use weird?

Hello. I have been having a weird problem where any mouse I use has weird tracking. By weird, I mean the cursor accelerates in a way that I can barely control it. If I move the mouse in a circle, the cursor goes in an oval. Sometimes it is fast, sometimes it is slow. I have used...
1. Microsoft Mobile Mouse 3500
2. Logitech m500 (Wireless)
3. Microsoft wireless sculpt mobile mouse
4. Microsoft Mobile mouse 4000 (Wirless)
5. Azio GM2400 (wired)
Each and everyone is weird. I mainly would use the Microsoft Mobile Mouse 3500. It was fine at first, but started to not be able to control the cursor well. I can think of a few possible things. Either my hands are sweaty, or it is my mousepad. I have also unchecked the "Improve Accuracy" in the pointer settings, but that made it worse. I do not understand why all of a sudden, any mouse I use doesn't track very well. Using the mice on my wooden desk has made a tiny bit of difference. Not really much. Can someone please help me find a reason why any mouse I use has bad tracking? Thank you.

Try changing the sensitivity of the mouse, and turn off the pointer tails. That should help with most problems.
If you think it is your mousepad, try using the rough side instead of the smooth side, (or vice versa!)
:D

Hello. I have never had pointer trails enabled. Also, I have tried changing the sensitivity both in the OS, and the DPI button on the Azio mouse.

No. The Azio mouse that I am currently using does not have any software for it. The Microsoft mouses do not have the option to individually change the X and Y axis. The X and Y were the same in the Logitech software, but I uninstalled it. Thank you for your reply.

What about cursor speed?

Hi. My cursor speed is on the 5th line thing in the windows pointer options. That's how it has been for all these mice. Any higher would be too fast for me and any lower would be too slow. Thank You.

Have you tried flipping the mousepad yet?
