As everyone may know by now, the MX-series (MX300 anyway) and the slick side of the Steelpad 4D plastic mousepad, do not work very well together.

I finally solved it

The trick to get them to work together is to make the slick side "dirty" enough to make the mx mouse identify the surface.

I did it by smearing my hand all over the surface, then spraying it lightly with hair spray, then taking the rough side of a damp washsponge and scrubbing the sticky hairspray away.

Now there is a thin layer of non-sticky hair spray covering the filth from my hand

Anyone came up with another solution? I'd really like to know. Go go bw BNet Europe!

solution: buy a different mousepad for 50cents.

I used to do that, thought it would be interesting to find out how a more expensive mousepade felt.

Yeah, I finally got a new mousepad after 6 years, and I decided to go with a FuncPad, and I can REALLY tell a difference, I'm very pleased with it.

Dude both of my cheap mouse pads are fine. I saw the point in getting a more expensive keyboard and mouse and did so. But spending 25$ on a mouspad WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?????!!?! My MX300 didn't cost me that much.
