Using a Zowie FK and a Puretrak talent

been using both for quite a while I washed the puretrak multiple times in the washer/dryer (maybe thats why?)

recently my mouse is having troubles tracking diagonally on most of the pad or in any direction if I do it fast it will just get stuttery and barely move

if I take the mouse off the pad and blow on the sensor or point it toward my fan then its fine I just have to keep doing it everyone 20 or so seconds and its fine besides once where it completely shit itself for an entire round no matter where I was on the pad or how I was aiming it was jittery and barely moving

if I plug in my old ass deathadder it has no problems anywhere on the pad

so I was just wondering if this was the Zowie FK or my puretrak talent fucking up or maybe both? keep in mind I have been using them together for so long with no problems its probably been nearly a year maybe longer for my Zowie FK

Geknaiirare u sure you just arent hitting the malfunction speed on the mouse

im pretty sure thats not it it will happen at all speeds and its not a small jitter or stutter I could travel my entire mousepad and barely look around in game even with a decently fast sensitivity (7inches/360)

The original sensors for the fk, ec1, and ec2 all had trouble tracking on mousepads that weren't fully black. It might've just taken a while to take effect, due to washing and wear

I'd say get one of the newer sensors (fk1/fk2)

Yeah it's the mousepad, I had this problem and once I switched to a steelseries qck+ (fully black) I had 0 problems at all. It's a cheaper solution than getting a new mouse, unless you are set on using the puretrak talent.
