I'm curious about how the slick surface of a mousepad affects the optical sensor, and how materials like a rubber base layer or a polyester/diamond-weave top layer contribute to tracking sensitivity. Also, what are the underlying physical principles that make non-hard plastic surfaces enhance mouse sensitivity?
How does a mousepad technically work?

Alright, these mousepad questions are dragging me along too 😅 Once, my first computer’s mouse was literally just a mouse—no budget for a mousepad, so I’d just drag it straight across the couch cushion. I guess the rubber ball made the desk act like a "touch panel" or something, huh? 😂
