Ninox Aurora Malfunctioning

I'm basically borrowing a Ninox Aurora to test it out. I'm using an Overclockers MegaMat XXL (which covers my entire desk) and I had no problems what so ever with my Zowie FK1.

When I flick around in games like TF2 or Quake it will very often look directly up. This happens so much it's almost unplayable. I can flick just to turn a little bit (not even necessarily that quickly or long distance) and it'll look straight up or sometimes down.

It's really annoying when I'm trying to rocket jump or something like that. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it? Am I missing a vital step that helps the mouse work correctly or is this a common thing? Thanks for any help.

The only problem I have my ninox is that it every so often will disconnect for like 25 sec and then reconnect

Definitely not common. Luckily, my Aurora performs fine (as I've heard of some other issues with the mouse, e.g. the cord).

I hope you find the solution. Make sure you reply back with the solution if you find one!

E: not common i.e. I haven't seen others posting anywhere about this same issue.

This is going to sound really stupid but here goes:

I had a similar issue with my aurora and I believe it was a combination of the placement of the mouse feet and the way I gripped the mouse. Whenever I would do long sweeping flicks (like a rocket jump with a low sensitivity) I would almost imperceptibly tilt the mouse causing the sensor to malfunction. If I held the mouse differently with the intention of keeping it perfectly flat I could flick all I wanted without it malfunctioning. If this is the case for you, you could try using extra feet (keep in mind this will add friction/drag) from the aurora or from another mouse to help reduce any rocking.
