TOPIC

    The pointer moves too slowly, or not at all, when an Apple Pro mouse is used on a surface that lacks an appropriate texture.

DISCUSSION

    Symptom
    The pointer moves too slowly, or not at all.

    Solu tion


    The Apple Pro mouse does not work on these surfaces:
    • glass, or other glossy materials
    • half-tone images, such as mouse pads with pictures

    The Apple Pro mouse uses an optical sensor instead of a mechanical device to detect movement. An optical sensor needs a surface that has some texture to work effectively. This is because changes in surface texture provide reference points that the optical sensor uses to detect movement, which is translated to pointer movement on the screen.
