your optical mouse is jumping because the light on the bottom is reflecting back awry, if you have a wood grain (fake or not) desk without a mouse pad or a mouse pad with various colors that would be whats causing the problem, try a solid color surface and try to avoid black (black does not reflect very well and your mouse may or may not work, green seemd to work, as well as blue, white seems to cause some problems as well (I cant figure that one out. (your optical mouse may also be dirty, think of it like a smudge on a laser, the beam becomes broken.)
But i had an optical mouse i used on my wood grain desk and everytime i’d run over a dark spot my mouse would jump. I now have a solid blue pad and it works great.
