The chances are, being an optical mouse it has a hair or some dust
around the light/sensor which is causing the sensor to see the dust
instead of your desk which is confusing it. Turn the mouse over when
the pc is switched off (it's not good to look into the light, it's
very bright) and make sure its clean. If this does not fix it, it may
be possible that one of the wires has become loose and it may need
repairing or more easily, replacing.
