When using a mouse on the surface, is there friction or is the mouse able to glide freely?

The mouse does glide freely but personally I still prefer to use a mouse pad over it.

Yes, it does move very easily. Unfortunately, it doesn't exhibit a static friction coefficient.

Hi Dave, No but it doesn't glide back easily either. It requires some level of light force to move it in either direction. If you are typing "down" onto the keyboard I think you will be fine.

Surface movement only.But I wouldn't recommend buying this toy since its battery case (which serves also as on-off switch) tends to fall apart very easily

Kristen,It can be moved up and down but you have to use a little bit of force. If you are trying to angle it to kerp the mouse from sliding off if you turn it downward a bit that may do what you are looking for, but truthfully you will need to mess with it to get it to keep the mouse in place and that doesn't always work. Hope I answered your question.

Hello, Smooth on the top and textured plastic on the sides. I would recommend the mouse.

Yes, it does glide smoothly. It does make a very slight squeak if we lean heavily to the left when rocking. But, it' really not a problem.

No. The bottom moves freely. The weight of your hand is supposed to be enough to keep it from slipping.

A hard surface only. I tried propping it up on a mousepad to minimize the ergo trouble, but I couldn't click with it propped up that way.

you can push and hold the lower left hand corner of the pad, and then use your other hand to drag and drop. I use the pad mostly when I am in Win8 mode as I still find the mouse easier (faster) for some things in Win7.

Great question. Ironically today I got back home and didn't have the mousepad out under it yet since I was lazy and it worked on my desk. So it should work unless the surface doesn't allow for it.

It will give you the sharp edge contact. It is a hard mouse mat. The coating is not slippery, it's sticky. Mouse movement is jerky due to the stickiness.

The surface has a bit of a rubbery texture to it and it does hold my laptop in place. Sliding should not be an issue.

I think it does, as long as you use it on the smooth surface side. I have had to make some big movements in the games I play, and have had no problems.

For me, it depends on the mouse. My Logitech 310 has a soft contact surface and makes very little noise, while my G502 gaming mouse has a harder surface and makes a lot of noise if I hold it down with pressure.

On it is not sticky and you can move it around. It does not slide and will not be sliding off your table...I do not believe. I got mine because I had carpel tunnel very badly and it helped me a lot with that. Now that I have had my surgery I am not as depended on it as I was before because I am not on the computer as long as I was before!

No, I don't know why. I'm using a laser mouse too. But, it's not a gaming mouse. Your mouse might need a specific type of friction?
