Microsoft Laser 6000 Gaming Problem

[xrob]

just purchased one of the new Microsoft Laser 6000 corded mice and when i move the mouse fast left or right it starts going crazy, moving down and messing up its completely impossible to play with as fast movments just cause this problem everytime. i have tried that default xp mouse drivers and the itellipoint 5.5 drivers and it still has the same problem, is it just a crap mouse or is there a way to fix it.

here is a small movie clip (5mb) showing what i happens when i move the mouse left and right at speed in game.

is it faulty ?

ps. i have been using microsoft optical blue for almost 6 years now and they were fine, i dont understand why they would make a gaming mouse and then supply you with a mouse thats no good for gaming.

Have you tried the lastest intellipoint software from the MS website?

If so, then contact returns/technical who would be able to check a few things before issuing an RMA etc.

What surface are you using it on?

We really do need to know what surface you are using it on, and whether you have tried any other surfaces, a different smoothness of mousemat for example.
The latest model of the Logitech Laser Mice (G7) will not work on my Icemat 2 for example, as the laser is picky over which surfaces it will track on.
