Tracking issues with MX Revolution and Xtrac Ripper XXL

[investinwaffles]

So my MX Revolution is giving me tracking problems with my Ripper XXL

It wasnt doing this initially, or maybe I just didnt notice
The problem is that the cursor will jump a few positions every now and then and is really annoying when selecting say a song in itunes.

Anyone have any insight to the problem? is it just the shitty sensor in the MX Revolution?
I love the mouse (LOVE the hyperfast scrolling, and the thumb scroll), but I really cant live with this problem. And im not giving up my deskpad

What other good wireless mice are there? It has to be wireless, have a few buttons and look either sleek or unique (rat9?)? I dont know if I can give up my MX Rev's sublime scolling, but this is really an annoying issue. Updating/reinstalling drivers did nothing, same with reinstalling the actual mouse from the system

Have you tried cleaning the sensor with a can of compressed air?

Yep, no dust on the exterior of the sensor

The mouse works fine on the surface of my desk (wood), and on my old mousepad (cyba snipa , got it for free).
So I guess im going to end up switching it out. What are the best of the best wireless mice right now? Will they be any different??? Meaning I want something that will for sure track properly on the Ripper XXL.

Best wireless mice currently:

Logitech G700
Razer Mamba
Microsoft X8

Certain mice/sensors can indeed be picky and track better/worse on different surfaces. I haven't used the Ripper XXL, so maybe someone that owns one of the above mice + that pad can chime in.

Sorry to bump the thread but this problem is getting ridiculous

So next question, has anyone used a Logitech MX or any other laser logitech with either the Corepad Cerro XXL, C1 XXL, Deskpad XXL, pretty much any corepad deskpad????

I dont really know if I can give up my MX Revolution, there is no other mouse I can find right now that is better for my needs (I hate wired mice, and wires in general). The G700 is pretty much the only alternative mouse I can find and I loose my thumb-scroll but I can make up for it with extra buttons I guess. Still, I would rather spend $40 on a mousepad than another $100 on a new mouse that might have the same issues.

Sorry can't say I have. I do however use a Puretrak Talent and it works fine with all kinds of laser and optical mice. And it's the next closest thing outside of all those ridiculously large pads you've mentioned.
