One thing that annoys me is while in finder, your cursor gets close to a file name or arrow you want to click, and the mouse wavers/jiggles. I with it could snap to the folders or arrows you need to click on. any idea out there? thanks.

Change the screen resolution so the targets are bigger.

If the cursor started snapping to random objects on my screen, I`d scream.

What in the world are you talking about?

And no, I have never ever wished for such a feature. If you're having trouble controlling the mouse, either turn the sensitivity down or lay off the coffee.

Are you perhaps using an optical mouse on a surface that's not that great? As in reflective, or uneven?

There are some places on my 'wood look' desk at work where the mouse cursor will slowly 'walk' across the screen, without touching the mose at all.

Start using keyboard navigation more.
