I have an iBall Laser precise mouse. The problem is that the cursor keeps shaking( shivering ) on its own. Even when the mouse is absolutely stationary and even when I have reduced the sensitivity. When I raise it from the surface, the shivering stops. This problem seems to have developed of late all of a sudden. It occurs with and without the mousepad( non reflective, covered with cloth).

Any suggestion? Google wasn't helpful.

That was the first thing I did. May be I am not able to sense it but I see no vibration.

Generally Cloths or velvet surface should stop the unusual jerks... Try increasing the sampling rate, or sensitivity.
