Mouse problem

I lose control of the mouse cursor from time to time. It jumps off the screen for no apparent reason especially when playing games that are mouse intensive. I have the latest version of Mac OSX installed. I've tried using the mighty mouse bluetooth version and the USB version and also a microsoft mouse but the problem persists when each of them. At first I though the problem was only in Parallels but it also happens on the Mac side.

How much RAM do you have?
Keep Console open and see what it shows when the mouse behaves particularly incorrectly.
 
I have 4 GB installed. That's the maximum my iMac holds.

I believe I've discovered the problem. It seems it's as simple as the surface I'm moving the mouse over. I don't know why I didn't think of that before but after getting out an old mousepad and using that instead of the wooden desktop I had been using the problem hasn't come up.

Sorry for not using my head.
 
The surface your using your mac on would impact the ability of the mac for sure.. Optical mouse' use light.. and can get lost in certain colours on the surface..
