Unfortunately, working with the Logitech Performance MX Laser mouse is impossible to it. Despite (or?) "Darkfield Laser Tracking" the mouse is extremely dependent on the transmission, some several centimeters at a time.
That of others annotated cumbersome sliding the mouse on the mousepad strikes me hardly and does not bother me personally.
In other mice, the mousepad is fine with me. So clear recommendation in conventional (also Logitech) laser mice, users of "Darkfield Laser Tracking" technology should rather seek alternatives.
Note: The packaging is designed by Hama more than wasteful. (> DIN A4)
