We investigate the hypercyclic properties of commutator operators acting on separable Banach ideals of operators. As the main result we prove the commutator map induced by scalar multiples of the backward shift operator fails to be hypercyclic on the space of compact operators on . We also establish several necessary conditions which identify large classes of operators that do not induce hypercyclic commutator maps.
