You can override QGraphicsItem::mouseMoveEvent() like this:

YourItem::mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event)
{

    if (x() < 0)
        setPos(0, y());
    else if (x() > 481)
        setPos(481, y());

    if (y() < 0)
        setPos(x(), 0);
    else if (y() > 270)
        setPos(x(), 270);
}
