When using an optical mouse connected via USB on a laptop and experiencing strange cursor movement, which of the following is MOST likely to be the cause? (Select TWO).

Hardware failure in a mouse typically causes the cursor to stop responding entirely or become unresponsive, not produce erratic movement, making failure a less likely cause than environmental factors.

Laptop touchpads remain active alongside USB mice by default, and accidental palm or wrist contact with the touchpad generates simultaneous cursor input that appears as erratic or strange movement.

Outdated or corrupt mouse drivers usually result in complete loss of mouse function or device misidentification, not the specific symptom of strange cursor movement.

A capacitive touchscreen is a display input technology and does not interact with or affect the tracking behavior of a separate USB optical mouse.

Optical mice rely on a contrasting, matte surface to track movement accurately; reflective, transparent, or glass surfaces scatter or confuse the optical sensor's LED and camera, causing unpredictable cursor jumps.
