Why is a mouse when it spins?

This happens mainly due to your PC configuration i.e hardware, in particular the mouse not matching with the intended performance parameters. Go to control panel and fix your Mouse settings- check the speed - is it too much, or too less. Go for a Windows Xp or Linux with at least double RAM (256 Hz) when you go over Internet and also, work out with your ISP why the speed is slow. Quite often, a combination of slow speed, bad hardware and Anti-Spyware software give a dreadful surfing experience.

it might be a mouse problem :-)\nI mean, if you have a roller-ball mouse, it could be that you need to open the bottom flap of the mouse and clean the rollers. It happens quite frequently.

usually a wheel, mounted so that it can spin about an axis in any direction. When spinning, the gyroscope has special properties. Many spinning objects exhibit some of these properties; the rotation of the earth about its axis gives it the properties of a huge gyroscope. Once a gyroscope starts to spin, it will resist changes in the orientation of its spin axis. For example, a spinning top resists toppling over, thus keeping its spin axis vertical. If a torque, or twisting force, is applied to the spin axis, the axis will not turn in the direction of the torque, but will instead move in a direction perpendicular to it. This motion is called precession. The wobbling motion of a spinning top is a simple example of precession. The torque that causes the wobbling is the weight of the top acting about its tapering point. The modern gyroscope was developed in the first half of the 19th cent. by the French physicist Jean B. L. Foucault, and its first notable use was in a visual demonstration of the earth's rotation. In the second half of the 19th cent., with the invention of the electrically driven rotor, its uses multiplied. It became possible to rotate the gyroscope's wheel at desired speeds without interfering with the precession. Large gyroscopes are used in ship stabilizers to counteract rolling. The gyroscope is the nucleus of most automatic steering systems, such as those used in airplanes, missiles, and torpedoes. It is also used in the gyrocompass, a directional instrument used on ships. Unaffected by magnetic variations, its spinning axis, when brought in line with the north-south axis of the earth, provides an accurate line of reference for navigation.\n\nAlso look at...\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

It's a ghost.\n\nI kid.\n\nYou could just be getting interference from something around it. My wireless mouse will do that from time to time too.

It is simple, open a old mouse and see, there are two wheels,  one is for horizontal movements and the another one is for vertical movements. when you move the mouse up&dowm the vertical mouse whell will rotate, while rotateing there is a LED and sensor will contact eachother, then the mouse pointer will move up and down. same for horizontal movement.....

Why do you kick your car when it breaks down? Why do you shake your mouse when your computer freezes?\n\nit's just one of those things that you do in a vain attempt to fix things.

you might have a conflict between the mouse and another computer component.\n\nThe most common conflict is with the modem, so in case you are not using the modem, (most likely) try taking it off.\n\nyou can go to the control panel and under system, hadware,devices, look for the mouse and check if it has a conflict with any other hardware.

Hold CTRL key and roll mouse wheel.

Your mouse is most likely dirty.  some dust got inside and that is why it acting up.  Just open it up and use a Q- tip with rubbing alchol on it and clean it.  It should work perfect again.

it's to emulate the effect of cycling on a real bike. IF there was no weight to cycle against, your legs could spin round and round very fast with no resistance. Cycling against the flywheel, it's tough to start it spinning and get up to speed, like on a real bike, and to keep it going round at speed takes effort, like a real bike.

try taking the mouse apart and clean the wheels in it

Call Ghost Busters!  Seriously though, that happened to me when I was using a hard mouse pad.  Try using a softer one.  It could be that when you are typing that simple action is causing the mouse to move the slightest bit if the pad is a hard one or you are not using a mouse pad at all.

1.  It uses a different set of muscles in the hand so if you're currently using a standard optical mouse and you're sore, switching would help.\n2.  Some people are more efficient with their thumbs.\n3.  The base of the tracker ball never moves so a mouse pad wouldn't have to be utilized.

This is a hardware problem.  If the mouse wheel has lint, or other kind of thick dust, it will not work.  If this is what is happening, try using a pin to clear it.  If not, then the most likely explanation is that the mouse was banged or hit really hard, damaging or dislodgeing the receptor that monitors the wheel's movement.  In this case, you probably want to get another mouse.\n\nHope this Helps.\n----------------\nFrom,\nThe Realm of Goliath Web Design Team

try reinstalling the mouse software if any came with the mouse. on windows, you can click start, settings, control panel and mouse and see if any settings there changed.\n\nthis is assuming you have a Windows machine.\n\nif you don't have software with your mouse, go to the manufactures website. and see if you can download one that matches your mouse model.

Your processor may be going down as well, if it is overheating (or just wore out) it might be cycling at odd intervals or slower than intended which could cause the time discrepancy and the mouse freezing.
