I don't think it is the grain, but more likely the finish, which is 
refracting the light rather than reflecting it to make the mouse 
think it is moving when it isn't. This is just my semi-scientific 
understanding of light and the fact that moving to a non-reflective 
mouse pad solved my similar problem, and the same problem that a 
colleague was having.
