So I installed my MX 518 mouse, and it goes crazy at times. I'm not even touching it and it starts moving by itself. Sometimes when I move the mouse straight up, it does a quick jerky move to the left. Overall the movement does not seem smooth

I'm not sure what to make of it, the mouse is new :(
 
The one I'm using now it considerably better quality but it has less space because it has some fancy wrist-rest that I dont even use. The craziness seems to have gone away, so I guess it was the mousepad.
 
Yeah, sometimes if your mouse pad is too reflective, it will screw with the optics of the mouse. Your best bet is a matte one.
