Does the bluetrack technology with this mouse work on glass table tops ?

I've never tried it on a glass topped table (the kind with a solid surface underneath glass). I can say that on a completely glass/clear table the mouse doesn't work - not unexpectedly. As for the sluggishness on mouse pad...it's not a high end mouse. My logitech g602 is much more responsive for about three-four times the price. You can get this one in the $10 - $20 range with fine performance for web browsing etc and the battery life was excellent under moderate daily use.

I can't tell you. I've never tried on glass. But this mouse responds sluggishly on a mouse pad, so I would imagine it would perform worse on glass.

No all trackball marble mouses work just fine with the Mac. I have two and I have the one in this picture. I love them, once you get use to them they are so much more easier to move. Enjoy

It is but the software quality is not up to the same bar the hardware is. Mine stopped tracking consistently after about a year. You can get the same life from a 20 dollar gigabyte mouse and they have models that will fit large hands.

I haven't. The only issue I have experienced with this mouse is horizontal scrolling using the mouse wheel. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't been able to figure out why. Vertical scrolling has always worked for me.

I accidentally glued a glass piece of jewelry to my glass table top and it dried to solidly that I ruined the tabletop. I would say it works well on glass to glass and be careful not to spill the glue!

Great question. Ironically today I got back home and didn't have the mousepad out under it yet since I was lazy and it worked on my desk. So it should work unless the surface doesn't allow for it.

I have been using the ViewSonic touchscreen for about a year. It works okay but you still need the mouse for some things. I've never tried to use a stylus. No reason why it shouldn't work. It works with any impedance screen.

Yes, it works great, however the left/right functions of the scrollwheel do not work with the Mac OS. You can fix that with an app like "USB Overdrive." Great mouse, I highly recommend.

I have both. The G700 will not track on glass anywhere near as well as the MX. It does get some traction on glass but you will feel like a symphony conductor with the amount of arm waving necessary to move your cursor across the screen, messing with the DPI doesn't help this much.

Yes indeed, this Orbit track ball works fantastic with Windows 8. How do I know? My mom uses it as I gave her one since she hated using a conventional mouse. Just buy the darn thing.

Yes. Works fine just like every other one I've ever used. In the past I've experienced intermittent scrolling function with other "mice" and I was able to take them apart and clean gunk and debris from the mouse pad or surface that it was used on. This cleaning took care of the problem and extended the life of the mouse. I haven't tried it with the newer ones.

Sure, a laser mouse works okay. (I have a wireless, Logitech mouse.) By the way, this is a great table --- very easy to assemble and I'm not the greatest person with hands-on projects. I'm really glad I got it!

Hi: The short answer is yes. Here is why I say that: I did not buy this Trackman Marble Mouse for a new computer but for my oldest Win 98 Pentium Computer (HP work station). This product comes with drivers for Win XP, Vista and Win 7 which I did not need to use when I tried it on my latest Lenovo Thinkpad T530( it does have Win 7 Pro installed). However my wife was nice enough to let me try it on her new Sony VAIO Model: SVT151A11L , it has Win 8 (Original version) and a touch screen. It did seem to work fine, without installing any software, just plug and play not plug and pray!! However the literature that came with this mouse does not refer to Win 8 at all. The included software CD (set point 4.8A) also. I have always been using a trackball since Win 98 because I always ran out of pad or desk space with a regular mouse ( A matter of getting used to!!). This was my 3rd one, the older 2 are on HP workstations running WIN XP PRO, they always worked great! (without using the included software) Best Regards Yves

Good question. I tried the mouse on a variety of glass surfaces with the following general results. Clear window - not very good, erratic response. Picture under glass - worked well. Other glass surfaces as well. Clean glass worked better than dirty glass for all types of glass. Conclusion: mouse works well on glass if there is something close behind the glass to reflect the laser beam.

it has the same middle click function as most mice. i am able to map it within games so it should work

It works in most non-shiny, solid surfaces (it does not work with glass tops). But works OK with almost anything else.

Yes, a bluetooth mouse works well, but there a glitch in Win 8.1 that seems to make my mouse hang a little. I hope they address it soon.
