Does this mouse work on dark glass or carpet?

Probably not well. The top of my desk is glass and I did try it -- it needed more friction as the roller couldn't grip. As for carpet, shorter types might work, but I'd stay away from longer versions.

Works great on carpet (just tried it) but only intermittently on medium smoke glass.

I have used it on upholstery and on hard surfaces and I've never had any problem.

I have both now, and I would not pick this mouse for glassy surfaces. It just DOES NOT WORK. I can't believe Logitech would put such an inferior sensor in an otherwise well-built modernish mouse.

Good question. I tried the mouse on a variety of glass surfaces with the following general results. Clear window - not very good, erratic response. Picture under glass - worked well. Other glass surfaces as well. Clean glass worked better than dirty glass for all types of glass. Conclusion: mouse works well on glass if there is something close behind the glass to reflect the laser beam.

This is not a question, but what I'll try to help you anyway. If you lift the mouse off of you mode pad or desk or whatever, then it will stop functioning while you have it in the air. Once you set the mouse back down, it immediately begins working again. The laser only works when it is close to something.

I have both. The G700 will not track on glass anywhere near as well as the MX. It does get some traction on glass but you will feel like a symphony conductor with the amount of arm waving necessary to move your cursor across the screen, messing with the DPI doesn't help this much.

The black or dark floors (including rugs, carpets and hard floor) will cause confusion to the cliff sensors on the bottom of CleanMate vacuum, so we do not recommend to use it on black/dark floors.

I've never tried it on a glass topped table (the kind with a solid surface underneath glass). I can say that on a completely glass/clear table the mouse doesn't work - not unexpectedly. As for the sluggishness on mouse pad...it's not a high end mouse. My logitech g602 is much more responsive for about three-four times the price. You can get this one in the $10 - $20 range with fine performance for web browsing etc and the battery life was excellent under moderate daily use.

Sorry but I am not certain. ..... I can say that both the keyboard and mouse sensor work well

We only use it on hardwood floors and carpet. It works great on both, without the need to adjust when going from one surface to another.

Yes. Works fine just like every other one I've ever used. In the past I've experienced intermittent scrolling function with other "mice" and I was able to take them apart and clean gunk and debris from the mouse pad or surface that it was used on. This cleaning took care of the problem and extended the life of the mouse. I haven't tried it with the newer ones.

I have light beige carpet. I was able to highlight dark areas in the carpet. Whether they were actually pee or not, I could not tell you.

Yes, but it depends on the mouse you have. I have the Razer Nagga 2014 so mine works fine but only lets me toggle certain lights off and on not change the colors.

I don't have dark carpet but deep brown (almost chocolate color) hard wood. The rug has some black in it. With this in mind, I never had issue with neato so far. I googled this question before buying and found that Roomba has this issue, hence went with neato instead.

It should work right out of the box. There's an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse for the lights but if the mouse is not working at all then you may need to return it, hopefully you can.

Laser mouse works fine on the surface. I do not need a mouse pad. There is very little wobble to this table for as light as it is.

Don't know the answer to your question, but my Microsoft Optical mouse has a red light on the bottom that detects movement. Works great! Have had it for many, many months with no problem.
