In my asklemmy post (here: https://lemmy.world/post/20013379) I asked if anybody could help me because the mouse just does not glide well on my mousepad, while the 10 year old gaming mouse does glide.
The answers were pretty good and something I looked into. Then, I was just like “what if…” and put regular tape on the mouse, just to test it… and… it glides!
Makes sense, just seems like such a pain to need to tape a mouse in order to use it lol
