Mouse wont respond to small movements
I just bought a new laptop, and like most, it comes with a Synaptics Driver. When I make very small and short movements with the mouse, the mouse flicks back to where it started to.

Is there any known fix/explanation? I had a very difficult time looking for a solution online.

I'm not sure about that because it detects the movement, it just snaps it back
