Actually, just this morning, I had a strange problem.  It started going
crazy when mousing around.  My hands were a little wet -- perhaps that
prevented it from determining how to center the mouse.

Here's the way it behaved: I would touch the touchpad and move to a
location on the screen.  Taking my finger off the touchpad caused the
cursor to either move up and to the left or down and to the left.

Unplugging it and plugging it back in fixed it.

I should note that I never had a problem like this with my EasyCat
touchpad or with my laptop's touchpad.

I've seen this sort of behavior with joysticks and joystick-like devices
years ago when the joystick adjusts itself and decides what's "center".
I've never seen it with a touchpad.

It may just be a fluke.  If it happens again, I'll send another email.
