Magic Mouse Quits Working With a Mouse Pad

I researched the community and found an answer with the Magic Mouse not working on a mouse pad but working OK (sorta) on a hard surface.

I've had my Magic Mouse about 3 months ago. A couple of weeks ago it started working erratically on the mouse pad and marginally better on a hard surface.

I then ordered from Amazon's most expensive gaming mousepad money can buy the esteemed SteelSeries QcK Gaming Surface - XXL Thick Cloth - Best Selling Mouse Pad of All Time - Sized to Cover Desks.

Alas, absolutely no difference.

My 10 year-old HP mouse works great on my old and new mouse pad.. But not my new expensive Magic Mouse!

The earlier post, last commented on in 2015, was that a hair on the sensors was the culprit.

I scoffed about that - not way!. Then I got out my 30X hand-held microscope, the venerable Silver Burdet & Ginn model 0-382-22130-3.

There is indeed a friggin' hair on the sensors! I tried blowing it out, but my misting spittle only made things worse.

I'm on my way out the door to get a can of compressed air.

I'll let y'all know how that works out.
