Can I use this on a black wooden table without a mousepad? I despise mousepads very much

Its sensitive enough to do so, but it will probably mark the surface over time.

Whether it works or not on a black wooden table might depend on how shiny the varnish is. Shininess seems like a big factor for mice. But yes, you probably could. Mine works on a dark brown wooden table that isn't particularly glossy. (If you despise mousepads in general but want a mouse to work properly, you might like the "rug" style mousepads.)

Yes, you can. But if you want performance, i suggest you buy the steelseries qck pad

So do I! I do have to move my laptop over to the left a bit, about 2-3 inches. Then I have all the room I need for my mouse. And you don't need a mousepad with today's mice. Just use the right side of the table.

Yes but not sure how. Go to search or help and put in disable touch pad. It should tell you how. I too use a mouse but have not disabled my touch pad either.

I don't know whether the Ultrathin mouse will work on a glass table. I gave up on using this rather expensive little dude for the reason I gave in my review. And so, I did not try it on glass. It's a good question, though, because some mice won't work on ultra smooth surfaces.

I use the trackpad in bed (I have a bad back and use a computer table as well). I have the touch gestures enabled so that i can tap instead of click. If you have the trackpad set up this way, you can use it on a soft surface.

I use a mouse instead of the touch pad but I don't know how to disable to touchpad.

a mouse glides quite freely-almost too much. Iy takes a bit of getting used to but it works well. I bought these for my kids so they could use the permanent markers on paper and not have it bleed through the paper and permanently mark my table. works great for that too

I would use a paste wood polish and apply it by hand with a pad or soft rag. Use the buffer to shine when the polish has set a few minutes. Don't overdo it by exerting a lot of pressure on the table top.

Hello Matt, the Ouroboros performs quite well on non-traditional surfaces surprisingly. I have tried it on wood (desk), vinyl (like a fold out table surface), plastic (video game case), my razer mouse pad, and on my bed all seem to have little effect. I will say this though that it seems most important that the surface is smooth/flat. Let me know if you would like to know anything else!

As an optical mouse, you really shouldn't need a mousepad unless you are dealing with a reflective surface or a glass table. If the mousepad is reflective in nature - with any kind of gloss - that will disrupt the operation of the mouse.Try testing the mouse on a few different surfaces to see if you can find one that does work. If you can't get it to work on your shirt, the unit might be defective - however, it is far more likely that your system is slow under load, or that you've picked a poor mousing surface.

I did't use the adhesive strips. You won't need them if it will be under furniture or otherwise out of the way. I guess another question would be is an adhesive solvent like Goo Gone going to hurt your wood floors. According to their web site, it should be fine. http://googone.com/Goo-Gone-Problem-Solving

Yes, and it is NOT worth it. There are other better methods to do the same thing, just search around on google. This is a pain. The little piece that goes between the sides of the keyboard and magic trackpad is always slipping out. It doesn't resolve the problem of clicking the trackpad on a soft surface. Definitely keep looking. There are at least 2 alternatives both of which are better and a more reasonable price.

It doesn't not come with the mouse pad. I have been using my leg and it's fine. Lol I have yet to try it on a desk.

You can, but when I did it froze up and i had to reboot. Do a google search on yours and it brings up several problems with the Mouse and finger pad.

There isn't a quick easy way to do so. One may use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the mousepad assembly in place and then use a power drill to drill holes on the other side of the platform so that the mouspad may be mounted there. However, the mousepad swivels on a rod that is off-center to the pad, so if the pad is mounted on the left, it won't line up as neatly with the edge of the platform as it does from the right side.

Sorry. Can't live without my mousepad. Try contacting the manufacturer. Sometimes they are more than willing to help.
