After having consulted Logitech's site, for possible fixes or warrenty issues, they've basically said, "Your monitor is too close to your base, tough shit. And the way my desk is set up, there is no way to get my mouse and it's base each to be 2 feet away from any other electronic device. It does this no matter what surface it's on as well.
So I want to get a corded mouse, in the long way of saying things. Advise me oh great ECers, as to some good options.
Something else is fucked up on your end senor.
It's not something people hear about.

So how do I go about getting an RMA from Logitech then? I've still got a year+ on the "warrenty" they offer. Can't find it on their website.

Demos had this to say about Robocop:
Are you using a mousepad? Sometimes a shitty tracking surface can make the cursor jump too. If you've already dropped the cash on the MX-1000 its worth the extra few bucks for a decent mousepad, and you can get good ones in all sorts of slicknesses.
Mouse pad usage doesn't make a difference. I need to RMA the fucker to Logitech at some point. I just don't have the time atm. Finals + 40 hours a week at new job =

Comes with a neat little pack of weights so you change the heft of the mouse too.
I don't care what "pro gamers" try to claim otherwise, that's a fuckin gimmick. The balance of a mouse means absolutely nothing.

I concur, I just like the fact that it makes my corded mouse about has heavy as the MX1000. I like heavy mice.

Depends on how you move the mouse.
Two ways to go with FPS shooters: Very low sensitivity to mouse movement.. means lots of mouse movement (get a bigger mousepad) but can make you incredibly accurate. If you're jumpy, this helps you out even more, as a sudden gunshot or alien popping out of nowhere won't send you spinning 1000 degrees.
Or you can go with moderate to high sensitivity and move the mouse tiny increments.. Accuracy suffers a tiny amount, but in games where quick turning is needed and/or large areas need to be "covered" or objects move incredibly quick, it's invaluable.
A lighter mouse favours the former situation, while a heavy mouse favours the latter.
Only complaint is the battery life is short, lasts usually 2-3 days of regular use. Though with 2 of them included I'm not all too concerned.
I like it when my mouse is heavier -- I tend to move lighter mice too fast 
That's another reason I'm a big cordless fan. Batteries = heavier mouse.

This was true until they invented mouse acceleration.
