Greetings;
We are using cotton-covered mouse pads instead of plastic ones.
The usability of the mouse depends very much on the surface of the mouse pad.
You need a plane surface, and a surface which is keeping the mouse clean.
A cotton-covered surface of the mouse pad is cleaning the mouse ball
instead of picking up dust. The plastic pads tend to become dirty in a
short time, and this way the mouse mechanism too.
