As the comments are indicating, this IS desired behavior. This mouse is too sensitive. Try a cheaper one. I'm curious why you're picking it up that much in the first place? – Shinrai Nov 23 '10 at 21:53
I use very low sensitivity when gaming, I pick up the mouse very often. This moving in the air causes confusion, unexpected behavior. – Tomasi Nov 23 '10 at 21:58
Just curious, what mouse do you use? I've used Razor, Logitech and Microsoft laser mice and never had them be that responsive. However, it still stands that your mouse is working as desired in my opinion. – Paul Nov 24 '10 at 14:03
Sharkoon FireGlider (3600 dpi). Really great value. This is my only complaint. – Tomasi Nov 24 '10 at 14:10

if you are picking up the mouse because you've run out of room on your desk to move it in a particular direction you might want to consider increasing the mouse speed in windows and/or increasing the sensitivity in the games you play. this way you can move the cursor further on screen with less actual movement of the mouse – Xantec Nov 24 '10 at 15:36
