I don't know if this is normal with old optical mice in general, but whenever I move the Mini Optical very quickly (twitch movement) on my desktop, it just bugs out and the cursor starts flying in a random direction. This even happens in Starcraft, even though it's resolution is 640x480.
I'm using Windows XP SP3 32bit with hidusbf at 500hz and the cheesemousefix.

I have a Razer Diamondback as well, and it doesn't do this at all. Is it DPI that is causing this? After all, the DB runs at 1600dpi, and I assume the Mini Optical is running at 400dpi.
I'd like to know if anyone else has an optical mouse with this problem. Even better, does anyone have a solution to this?
I have tried searching on TL and Google, but to no avail. All I see are comments of "LOGITECH MINI OPTICAL IS THE BEST," and I haven't been able to find a fix for this problem in general.
Please help! TT
I really like the feel of this mouse, but this is just bugging me.

Yes, it's because old and the sensor isn't uber up to date. I play with mouse sensitivity through the roof, I can the cursor all the way across the screen by moving my hand about half an inch in StarCraft. Moving it quickly enough to mess up the tracking would be farther than I'd ever need to move it.
I don't know what other people do but that's my solution.
Edit: Forgot to mention I do in fact use the Mini Optical

Thanks for clearing that up. I suppose I'll just use the Mini Optical for BW and the Diamondback for FPS.
Now, if only Logitech would make a mouse with the Mini Optical's shape and with Diamondback/DeathAdder sensor technology...
I would buy like 10 of them immediately...

I have a mini optical, it has 500 DPI actually , and there shouldn't be and jerky movements especially in starcraft. (but in XP on high resolutions and too high sensivity it will skip pixels)
also running it on more than 250mhz usb give no better results (but really it's fast enough).
My advice is to try it on some other computer, because cursor flying in random direction is not normal behavior, and i think something is wrong with the mouse or your comp / it's soft, you can also try to plug it into PS/2 port.
(i had never experienced any problems with it, and high speed precision was always superb be it SC's 640x480 res. or other games/win on 1600x1200)

Razer Salmosa?

Starcraft isn't really that big of an issue anymore, since I increased the speed with Chaosplugin. Earlier I forgot to configure it and it was really slow in BW, so I noticed the cursor flying around.
It doesn't fly around randomly unless I move it extremely fast, so it's a problem in FPS, although I am a medium-high sens player.
If I move it normally it's really precise, there's no pixel skipping that I can see.
and the Razer Salmosa looks nice, might pick one up later

Yeah, I think it's the inches per second (IPS) that seems to be the cause of the trouble. From the Razer website:
"IPS measures the maximum speed at which the mouse can be physically moved across the mousing surface before it loses tracking accuracy and "fails." Once the mouse is moved faster than its IPS rating and fails, the cursor movements on the screen will no longer correspond to the mouse movements by the user."
