It seems that when I play it does things sparratic. I loose control and I sometimes hear the sounds of it disconnecting then immediately connecting again. I Googled this and found out it is a very common happening. I wonder if any of you techs can help me resolve this issue. I can't afford to continually buying a new mouse every 3-4 months. The support says they think its the cable but I never yank on it or abuse it. So if that is the case it's a manufacturing problem which they should replace it but as I said its a financial problem for me to send this one back to them. I would much rather figure out what it really is than to send it to them and be told there is nothing wrong with it. Please help an old Meanie! Awards

Found out it had a broken wire where the wire entered the mouse. Took it apart and tried to fix but no luck. A replacement cable was $25 so the simple resoning was buy a new $150 mouse.

It was a short where the cable connected to the mouse. Does it only happen in game? if that is the case maybe try an updated driver. Chances are, it is a hardware issue and not software.
