Does this mouse track on a glass surface?

It's an optical mouse and they don't work well on a translucent surface like glass. Putting something opague over the glass makes it work ok.

Yes. The mouse pointer will appear when you move the trackpoint and trackpoint scrolling also works.

No, up and down like most Windows mouses. If you want L/R scrolling, a trackball type is usually the way to go. There are some good wireless units that use a thumb ball. I have had the older big ball type and they were all too big to work well except for some graphics applications.

I am using this mouse on both my home and work laptops - Windows 8 & Windows 7 respectively. So far - no problems!!!

It does not work well on a glass top table. I had to use paper as a mouse pad when working on a glass top.

The magic mouse will NOT work on a clear glass desk. You have to use a mousepad with it or other opaque, non-shiny surface.If you lay a sheet of paper on top of the glass the Magic Mouse should work fine, even if you tape that same piece of paper under the glass, it probably does not work at all.Glass has a supper smooth and clear surface that makes bouncing a laser back almost imposible which is why I cannot think of any laser mouse that I know of works on smooth glass. It may work but I would doubt it. As the documentation says it will work on most surfaces and I think they are talking about glass as the exception.

Absolutely, My desk is entirely covered with a sheet of glass and I have used a mouse for years on it. The one I presently use is the Microsoft wireless 5000.

It works fine with all my mice. I have laser mice and standard optical mice and both track fine.

it doesnt track anything its just computer set up. the best way to do is use the manual tracking.

Not at all. As far as I can tell it doesn't attach to anything but glass or glass- like surfaces.

yes but its not a smooth track, I ended up going back to my wireless mouse. I was disappointed in its performance. If I get another it will be a logitech

Excellent! It has become my number one mouse. The tracking is great on any surface and I am usually at least 10 feet from my pc and it responds better than any of the others I purchased. I have used it on laminate, starboard, wood, carpet, my skin, and my blue jeans. So because it works so well, I move it with me between 3 computers that I use regularly.

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.

No, to move the cursor the mouse must move. In settings you can control the speed it moves. This thing is a great little mouse that functions very well. Quick recharging and compact. Slip in pocket and take it where ever. All other functions are controlled by finger/fingers sliding on surface. Works very well in Windows 8.1

I'm not sure because I only use the touch screen entity of the product(which works great). I don't use a mouse at all.

Yes. Just tried it with my optical mouse. Windows installed the driver and recognized it within a minute.

That's a Windows thing as far as I know. I don't have this mouse anymore, but if I recall correctly, the scroll wheel of that mouse isn't a button.
