In Operation: ? ?
Here’s where things start to go downhill a bit, I plugged the mouse into my laptop (LG LS70 P-M-745), and Windows XP detected it nicely as you’d expect, I fiddled with the sensitivity button on top which changed colours and made a very noticeable different to the speed and response, so all is going well, but I noticed a very strange issue in its movement when on the middle and low resolution which is going to be hard to explain.
When moving the mouse side to side and up and down, the cursor would stay on a perfect line, not deviating by even one pixel, a difficult task for even the most steady-handed individual. Seeing this, I started doing a few experiments, I moved the mouse side to side on a slight, yet easily discernable angle, and it still stayed on the same pixel line, almost as though the sensor engine could not tell the mouse was moving down the mouse pad. After a few side to side movements at a downward angle, I was at the bottom of my mouse pad and the cursor was only a few pixels further down the screen, barely registering the slight downward movement at all. I did another test, moving the mouse slowly down my mouse mat at around a 45 degree angle from top left to bottom right, the cursor on the screen almost went straight down, only slightly moving across at maybe a 5 degree angle. If I do the same movement at a faster pace, it moves the cursor down the screen at the correct angle/path, but if I do it slowly (like you would do if you were sniping in a game, or doing graphics work) and it went almost straight down… very odd. This was tried on 3 different surfaces with the same result, a cloth mouse pad, a plastic mouse pad and a wooden desk, all with the same result.
