When I go downstairs, and put the mouse over the glass, it is not working at all. I have to put something under. However, as surprisingly as it gets, going under, which is about 50 feet away, make it work ok.

>The one I have presently is like an arboright materiel with patterns. So, I figured at first it was the problem. So, that is why I put a black binder to try it on. I thought I found the reason but after a while, it started to do the same thing. IAC, a new surface will be put on top of the desk to replace the actual one. That one will be black solid all over.

If it's a regular, repeating geometric pattern on the scale of your average mouse motions, that's one of the problem surfaces. Also solid colour (especially black) is not good either.

Maybe you could get a mousepad with a fake wood grain or autumn leaves pattern - something non-repeating with lots of features for the mouse sensor to track.

The mouse pad I use is excellent - a slightly rough plastic surface embedded with thousands of randomly scattered metal flakes.

One last thing to check is that there is not a small piece of lint stuck in the laser sensor - that can make the cursor jump around, too.
