I‘ve recently bought an Apple Magic Mouse to have a mouse for my left hand while working. My main mouse on the right is my trusty SL Prime-Z DW. This one glides around the mousepad like butter in a hot pan. My totally new Apple Magic Mouse however drags like dry-fried chicken. My mousepad is the size of the whole desk, so it’s the same mousepad for both mice. The other mouse I had was gliding just fine, but buttons don’t work with my left hand so I settled for this one. And no, I don’t plan on putting a Trackpad there, the trackpad is below the keyboard (I need it to better move the camera)
Do you have any tips as to how I can make this mouse glide better?
Check there isn’t a plastic layer coating the skates (never used an apple mouse but it’s common on other brands, they’re usually blue to make them visible, but if they’re transparent they can be hard to see)
Sounds like you need replacement skates:
Mouse Feet Mouse Skates for Apple Magic Mouse 1&2 Generation (Pack of 2) (for Apple Magic Mouse 1st)
Trackballs are glorious, just saying.
Mmmmm yes, what you need is an air hockey table as a mouse pad
Lube?
Astroglide is perfect for this situation. It even has “glide” in the name!
Teflon tape on the underside!
Apple used to be so good at textures. Used to be better at design overall.
smash it and then mail it back to them
Gotta lube it up. I’d suggest water-based.

OP already has a desk sized mousepad apparently.
