If your aim feels crisp one day and 'muddy' the next, don't blame your muscle memory. Blame the weather. High humidity changes the physical friction of your mousepad.
Standard cloth mousepads are woven from polyester or nylon fibers. These materials are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air. When humidity rises (above 60%), the fibers swell slightly and hold water molecules.
This moisture increases Capillary Adhesion between the mouse feet (PTFE) and the pad. It literally creates a microscopic suction effect, making the glide feel 'heavy', 'slow', or 'swampy'.
The most direct fix. Keeping your room humidity between 40-50% ensures consistent performance for cloth pads.
Upgrade to a pad made of Cordura or Hybrid Nylon. These fabrics are widely used in military gear because they are hydrophobic (water-repellent). They maintain consistent speed regardless of the weather.
Hard surfaces (Plastic, Tempered Glass) are completely immune to humidity. A glass pad will feel exactly the same at 20% humidity as it does at 90%.
