Mouse problem getting worse

[GreyGeek]

I need your advice on mouse wire training. Mine keeps trying to crawl under the mouse pad... Not joking.

It's afraid of you!
(Is it house broken?? )

No, it hasn't been a member of my computer family for very long and still doesn't respond well to voice commands. I try not to yell at it too frequently... But sometimes...

I'll try speaking softly to it in the future if you think that will help.

[edit] I just realized that it is probably a Chinese mouse and only understand the tone of my voice. That's what I get for using a cheap lowcost unmarked mouse.

Maybe it's hiding its droppings under your mouse pad, did you check?

[TWPonKubuntu]

I do check, every time I give it a bath. I run a clean system here.

[GreyGeek]

Ah, that’s your problem. Mice hate water! And, they love filth! Maybe sprinkling potato chip crumbs around, along with some chocolate grime on pad ...

[TWPonKubuntu]

Aha! Once again your advice proves invaluable...

I'll try to bribe my mouse with junk food and report back if it becomes better behaved.

It occurs to me that I should use crushed Chinese Fortune Cookies for this. My mouse is probably more familiar with those.

Now I know whats wrong with my mouse. Maybe I need to name my mouse Jamie Summers or Steve Austin since I am running Bionic Bever.
