A few recent games I have been playing my mouse has been acting a tad weird.

However, here is the problem. It doesn't do it in EVERY game.

For instance, in fallout 3 on any game menu on the screen if i move my mouse slowly, it eventually will SKIP a huge amount of space and appear in a dif corner. Even with a single fluid motion.

Arma2: the mouse seems to jerk back and forth and fight me moving it, but only in the in game menus.

WoW: the mouse is almost always okay until im using the mouse to aim where to go and it will do a huge jerk like fallout 3 sending me into a crazy spin.

All other games like Killingfloor, source based games etc are all unaffected, no games open mouse works beautifully.

This issue appeared in Windows 7 then i went back to windows vista but the issue remained.

Things Ive checked:

I tried 3 other mice, but received same issue across all 3.
Doesn't seem to be GPU related since i swapped 8800GT for my 4890 recently and issue remains.

Anyone got any ideas?
 
You might try it on another computer, but it really sounds like the solution in your case is to just get a new mouse.
 
I tried 3 dif mice, and used the mice on my laptop and another pc. The mice are good, promise.
 
I used to have that spinning problem and realized that it was my mousepad screwing everything up. Have you tried putting the mouse on a different surface?

Not a bad idea, gave it a shot but no luck. Still skipping around. It honestly looks like in Fallout3 its snapping to a grid or something. In Arma2 tho its just resisting moving.
 
Try:
Go Into Control Panel
Switch to classic view
Double click mouse
Go into pointer options submenu
Select or Unselect Enhance Pointer Precision
