Why isn’t my new mouse tracking properly?

The tracking problems could be related to the surface your mouse is on. Some surfaces don’t work well with certain mouse sensors. Try using your mouse on different surfaces, like a different mouse pad or even directly on your desk to see if that makes a difference. Also, check if there’s anything stuck in the sensor, like hair or dust, which can affect how it tracks.

If all else fails, I’d say do a quick Google search for any specific fixes for your mouse model. Sometimes there are updates or settings that can help with tracking issues.

Definitely check your mousepad! If it's old, it might not be providing the right kind of surface anymore. Even if you cleaned it, sometimes wear and tear can really affect performance. If you have a different mousepad, give that a try and see how it goes.
