Ive noticed recently that my ps/2 optical mouse when moved really fast, the
mouse pointer moveshalf a centmiter then jumps back again. Is there a way to
fix this. Ive read some articles on non linear mouse filter, but cant find
any drivers for that sort of thing

And how do you think we can help you, without any information about
your mouse, computer, OS and drivers?

Clean the optical "eye" at the bottom of your mouse with a tissue. It may be
something deflecting the light source. Mine was scratched, and displayed
similar behaviour. I had to dump it and buy a new one.

That could be your problem, optical mice need some kind of pattern to
track, and a mouse mat can often be beneficial.

Don't know where you live, but in the U.S. the best deal on a great
optical mouse pad is a "cloth cutting pad", for lack of a better
description, from the sewing/fabric department at Walmart (it's a thin
rubber like pad). They are twice the size of a typical mouse pad, and
about the same cost. And, if you want, they make a supersize model
you can cut in half to make 2 large mouse pads. I use the back side
of the pad (the top side has measurement marks thereon) which is a
dull gray color. Works better than any optical pad I've used to date.
