okay, i just recently bought an mx510 and its great! the control definately feels like its hardwired to your brain like some people have described. anyways, im using this dell mouse pad where the mx510 glides nicely across. the mouse pad is black but in the middle is a big dell logo. its a gray circle with the dell in the middle. anyways, once in a while my mouse freak outs. i tested this in paint. while drawing horizontal lines, the cursor would suddenly shoot up unexpectedly (very annoying in photoshop!) does anyone know if graphics on a mouse pad can mess with an optical mouses signal? that unexpected movement also happened with my last optical. if so, i have to get a new mouse pad then... thanks for any help.
