Why does the cursor shake on my graphics tablet?

The cursor shakes to the point where it is not useable but it only happens when my laptops charger is plugged in. I have tried this with 3 other laptops and it's the same with them.

I had the same problem and found the solution (for me).
It was the Laptop Power Supply.

  • Switched off the supply and ran off laptop battery - no shaking.
  • Switched on the supply - shaking.
Hurray! It also explained why sometimes it would shake, sometimes not and why it also occured on my other laptop which caused me a lot of confusion - I was swapping over the same Power Supply to use on both laptops!

SOURCE: Skipping and Shaking cursor

I had a similar problem years ago w/ my ss III 12x12 that had worked flawlessly for years. I talked to tech support and they said move it away from monitor (crt) or other source of RF interference - this did not help mine. I tried replacing the power supply w/ generic one - no help. I noticed that the power supply voltage was spiking when check w/o load. After talking to an electric guy I know, he suggested a voltage regulator. Finally I built a home-made voltage regulator and wired it into the generic supply line -Problem solved This was about 10 years ago - still working good today.

SOURCE: Skipping and Shaking cursor

I have exactly the same problem as you, my tablet worked perfectly for the first three months and then started to act weird, shaking and skipping screen areas, even if i only touch it with my forearm.

Uninstalling/Re-Installing drivers didn't solved anything, so i started switching my tablet to different usb ports in my pc, and from one to another, the problem got a lot better. It didin't solved it, but works "decent". So, comparing yor experience with mine, it's probably an usb-port problem, rather than the tablet itself i thik.


I will test it in othe computerts to see how it goes

SOURCE: Skipping and Shaking cursor

I own a Graphire2 and I have often had the cursor shake like this. Usually unplugging and replugging the USB cable from the computer does the trick... and if it doesn't, restarting the computer usually does. I've never really had to fight with drivers.

SOURCE: Have the graphire 3 tablet, Not working well.

Wacom tablet not plugged into your computer with the USB cable.

Go to Add/Remove Programs, (Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs), and -> Remove
the Wacom software.

Restart your computer.
After Windows XP has fully loaded again, install the Wacom Graphire 3 CD, in your CD/DVD drive. Reinstall the software.

If you had to reinstall your Windows XP operating system, you may have corrupted some of the Wacom tablet's drivers. (Hence the shaky stylus cursor) Removing the Wacom software, and reinstalling it will repair.

Now plug the Wacom tablet into your computer.
You should see the, "Found New Hardware", pop-up out of your taskbar tray.

Mouse pointer shakes when charger is connected in laptop

This is a funny little problem; it made me smile. Your problem sounds like electro-magnetic interferance from your power adapter. When the electricity passes through your power adapter into your laptop, something is creating electro-magnetic noise in the RF (radio frequency) spectrum which is causing your mouse cursor to shake. I would recommend replacing the power adapter. You could also try plugging your power adapter into a UPS instead of directly into a wall or surge protector. It might help clean up the incoming power and reduce the line noise.

My cursor won't stop shaking excessively. I can't click on anything either unless I slam down on the mouse really hard.

Have you replaced the batteries?
Otherwise, reduce the sensitivity of the mouse in the Control Panel.

Wacom Bamboo stylus shaky cursor

Ur issue is that the tablet itself can not be above the tower or the laptop. Magnets make it shake. I had that problem to anytime it was by the computer (only above for some reason) or by something magnetic, so avoid that and you should be fine.

Skipping and Shaking cursor

There is a problem with the compatability of your tablet and your monitor. You either have to change your monitor to a different refresh rate or simply move your tablet abit further way from your monitor. If possible, you could change your tablet to "single mode" (depending on your tablet).

Skipping and Shaking cursor

could be that it is too close to the monitor - radio frequencies interfering -- try to put tablet farther away from wherever it's plugged in...
