Title: Clear Mouse Pad?
Post by: MadBurgerMaker on December 26, 2011, 11:20:32 PM
Currently I'm using my mouse, a Logitech Performance MX, directly on the surface of my glass desk.  It looks good and all that with no ugly mouse pad on there, etc, but goddammit when I clean the desk, which I do fairly frequently, it gets too smooth for the laser to track consistently, meaning the pointer will kind of skip around.  I usually end up trying to "dirty" the general mouse area up, but then I just want to clean it again.  :P

I was looking around on Amazon after playing Skyrim and having my dude basically tweaking out like a methhead because the pointer was skipping around, and came across a couple that are described as "clear."  Obviously, the pictures aren't all that informative.

Does anyone have one of these or have any experience using one with a laser mouse?  I don't want to basically have another glass surface that can be a bit spotty at times as far as tracking is concerned, but I also would prefer to keep the...glass look.
