Ouija Mouse - Has your cursor ever wandered slowly across the screen of its own accord? Usually it's just a hair across the LED lens, but it's still eerie to watch.

Actually, mine has the tendency to quickly shoot to the top right corner of the screen right as I click on a link resulting in the closing my browser window. Pretty infuriating.

The mouse pad helps.

Heh, yeah mine did that back when I used the laser-mouse that comes with any recent mac and that mouse drove me insane. Bless my wacom tablet and pen. Awesome mousepad mochicrunk.

I had my mom's optical mouse inadvertently upside down last week. Took me two or three embarrassing minutes to realize the problem.

Did it tell you to bet black, mischief? :)

Is that ceiling cat at the top left of the mouse pad?

I think it's ceiling cat. Oddly, the large version doesn't seem to have the orlywl.

Since a couple people have asked: it's a real mousepad sold by Topatoco, run by same guy who does the Overcompensating and Wigu web comics.
