[QUOTE="spongebue, post: 979790, member: 87018"] Hi all, Here's a strange one for you all. I have a Microsoft Keyboard, the one that came in this package: [url=http://reviews.cnet.com/keyboards/optical-desktop-with-fingerprint/4505-3134_7-31139861.html]Optical Desktop with Fingerprint Reader Keyboard reviews - CNET Reviews[/url]. I'm using a different mouse, but have the exact same symptoms regardless of if it's plugged in or not. My problem is that as soon as I plug it into the computer and it's recognized, my mouse cursor goes to the top-left corner of whichever monitor is designated as the primary one. I'm on a 15" MacBook Pro Unibody, and sometimes use a dual-monitor setup (the issue still comes up when I'm only using the built-in LCD). I can move it away with the trackpad or an external mouse, but as soon as I stop moving the cursor it jumps back (instantly, I don't see it moving back). I tried using the keyboard on my roommate's PC, and it worked fine. I also tried another USB keyboard I have with this machine, and that worked without a problem. I installed Microsoft's drivers for the keyboard, and that didn't change anything. Any ideas? I tried googling around, but have found nothing. Thanks! -Brian [/QUOTE]
