A method for minimizing spurious motion of a mouse includes: determining whether the mouse enters a specific mode; and when the mouse is determined to enter the specific mode, generating a large correlation matrix by generating a standard size correlation matrix multiple times. The multiple standard size correlation matrices are offset with respect to each other so that an edge of each standard size correlation matrix touches at least an edge of another standard size correlation matrix to form the large correlation matrix. The specific mode is a skating mode wherein the mouse will move at high speed over a large area.
