I should add that today I found out how much mouse pads can really effect your mouse. For years I have used a large razer pad. Sometimes my mouse would skip around like it was today and I always with this mouse had bad z-axes problems. I then saw on teamliquid a thread where someone said that my mouse worked better on white surfaces. So I put a piece of printer paper under the mouse and it instantly worked. I then put it back on the mouse pad and it started working a lot better. I still had some issues with tracking and when picking up the mouse and so I tested again with the paper and had 0 issues. So as a solution I taped the paper over my mouse pad. In addition to lower friction it now tracks perfectly with no z-axes problems! I plan to use this setup for a long time and see how it goes.

Perhaps for laser mice this is actually the best surface. Note though that I have high quality printer paper not the crap that starts to degrade and change color after a few months/year, this may impact how effective this method is.

Least they wont be Mexican.

I have noticed the same Zero. I tried the trick, I tend to swing my mouse a lot, for random things, and always fray up the paper and it annoys me. Also sweat up and dirty the ends of it. Want a nice white pad. The G9X supposedly fixed that problem with its "Darkfield" upgrade. I'm pretty sure this is what your referring to. The laser's inability to track properly on very dark, glossy, or glass surfaces.

Unfortunately the larger problem of them having poor mouse designs has not been fixed...

After years of using different mice I am happy to finally have one that I can use for literally 24 hours at a time without my had hurting!

Also yes tonight i hit the mouse down to hard a broke the paper while raging. However I can just get another piece of paper! That is what I love about this idea so far, I have infinite new mouse pad surfaces!

about the paper thing, the mouse i used to use was laser, and it had problems on any cloth surface. i refuse to use hard surfaces due to the wear on pads and just lack of comfort, so i'm back to my old logitech g3, which works great on cloth despite also being laser.

Cleaned mouse pad, appears working great for now...
