problem with mouse dropping

Sort:
Snookiedog

I play a lot of chess and on this site I 've lost games because of mouse dropping my pieces to quick in the square just behind where I intended it to fall.  Would like to know if other players have the same problem

I suggest getting a cat.

Use click-and-click method instead of drag-and-drop.

blame yourself and not the machine.

Yes, it happened to me quite a lot..I had to resign some games because of that. The issue can come from a used and worn mouse, which means you should try to get another one, preferably of decent quality, and see if that fixes your problem.

Also getting a good and comfortable mouse pad can help.

                You have to get rid of those mouse droppings. The're toxic and you can get sick. Clean your apartment.

Click and click is the way to do it.

            If its an old mouse, have you ever changed the battery??

I saw a mouse scurrying around in my flat the other day and I'm worried precisely because I don't have a mouse droppings problem. My question is: what hidden corner is the rodent befouling?

            ALL OF THEM, (corners that is).

And the edges too...

Hard to believe only 16 responses to such a great sidetrack. And all the lame ass threads that get 100' s of responses.

Lee, help with DrDoof1.

kleelof

I did. He disappeared.

MuhammadAreez10

He's online right now.

Out of sight out of mind.

I don't mind the droppings so much, although they are of course gross and disgusting (if tiny).  Nope, it's all the pathetic wiggling and squirming to free themselves from the glue trap that I find unsettling.  Is it wrong to just put it out by the elevator as a kind of preHalloween surprise?

EDIT: Oh wait, maybe this was to be posted in Courtenay's advice column...

Sick bastard.
