Lately my copperhead's starting moving on it's own. The cursor will either get jammed in the top right corner, or the bottom left. Is this a common problem?

I think it might be because I did a poor job uninstalling my diamondback drivers, but I'm not really sure what's going on, so I was hoping you guys could help.
 
Only time mine ever does something even close to that is when i've a hair stuck over the sensor or something. Maybe there's something on the lens?
 
Update the latest drivers AND firmware from the official website.

Make sure theres nothing blocking the sensor, all it takes is something like a piece of dust or a hair to make the input completely wrong.
 
I had a sensor problem way back when, the cursor would jitter when I moved the mouse regardless of the surface it was on. Turns out I had to clean the sensor (like every other day) with a q-tip even though it was brand new. Shows you how big of a piece of shit the laser is.
 
The more accurate the laser, the more likely it is that dust and dirt will effect it.

Since cleaning it helped I think it's safe to say that the sensor wasn't at fault and that your mousemat probbably needs a good clean. I clean my Icemat about once a week to keep it smooth.
