Magic Mouse no longer works on mousepad?

Don't know why, don't know if it was an update, or the fact that i just went to Lion, but now my mouse only works on my hard table surface, and barely moves (pointer just chunks along) if i try moving the mouse on the mouse pad, which it works fine on for a year.


Batteries are 100%, and mouse is clean as a wistle other wise. What gives? 😠

Found this on another board. A small hair might throw off tracking. The lens looked clean with the bare eye, but I used a bright light and magnifier and found ONE tiny hair in the opening.

Some air and careful blowing later and the problem is fixed.


Leaving this, because I might not be alone. I have been struggling with this off and on for weeks!
