Would it be a good idea to purchase a glass table to work with the optical Apple mice? I havent tried it but i think a glass table would be unsuitable for an optical mouse. What do you think, has anyone tried it id be interested to hearing your experience!
Got a tip for us?

There's only a few mice out there that can track on glass, one of them being my Logitech PMX.

No, here's a link from Gizmodo if you don't believe me.

Yes you are correct, why dont we make a thread for asking/suggesting Apple to implement a better laser to be able to track on glass surfaces?
I got a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse today with "Darkfield" technology. It does in fact work on any surface. I even tried it on the window... tracks perfectly.
Ergonomically it feels great to me.

I have a glass desk. So let's start with that. I've gone through about seven different mice, over the past few years, and as previously mentioned, the only one that can work on it is my Logitech Anywhere MX with "darkfield" technology. The MS Bluetrack mice can't do it either.
However, even though I do have a glass table, and the mouse will work on it, I do prefer a mousepad. Instead of getting a grungy cloth mousepad, though, consider the Razer Exactmat. It looks very classy, has a GREAT mousing surface, and is made of aluminum. Very thin. Check it out. Here's the link. I love mine.

I've tried out the Anywhere MX mouse but felt really small on my hand, so I sport the behemoth Performance MX.
