mouse trap

hiya peeps. i've a prob and i'm not sure if it is normal
or something wrong with my meese. i just bought a
wireless intellimouse explorer because it is more comfy
than my corded version. now, the problem be that whenever
i move the sucker real real slow, it won't track! i can
move it for 2 feet as long as i stay super slow with no
sudden jerks, it won't track. i tried a little proggy
called rate checker that shows the rate at which the
mouse is tracking. with my corded mouse it tracks and
displays 0Hz consistently when i move it real slow, but
it seems as soon as my cordless mouse hits 0 Hz it stops
moving and won't go again until i give it a little twitch
or move it faster.. do you think this is normal for this
kind of mouse? if so, it's extremely inconvenient, not to
mention somewhat of a waste of money.

thankyou LV. yes it's an optical mouse. i've tried
various other surfaces with different textures and an
assortment of colors with no change. my corded optical
has no problem reading pages on the surface i'm on now
which is just my desktop. it's dull wood with just an oak
pattern with lots of detail. it was suggested on another
forum that i take the bugger back. what do you think?
