It's a cheap MS basic optical mouse, and it likes to move my mouse pointer around while sitting idle on the desk. Can I stop that? Need I buy yet another mouse, and if so, what would I have to look for to avoid this?

Try putting it on some sort of different surface with a slight texture to it and see if that helps it. If not, try changing the mouse sensitivity in the control panel (assuming you're using Windows.)
