I‘ve recently bought an Apple Magic Mouse to have a mouse for my left hand while working. My main mouse on the right is my trusty SL Prime-Z DW. This one glides around the mousepad like butter in a hot pan. My totally new Apple Magic Mouse however drags like dry-fried chicken. My mousepad is the size of the whole desk, so it’s the same mousepad for both mice. The other mouse I had was gliding just fine, but buttons don’t work with my left hand so I settled for this one. And no, I don’t plan on putting a Trackpad there, the trackpad is below the keyboard (I need it to better move the camera)

Do you have any tips as to how I can make this mouse glide better?

    Are you dual wielding mice, my man? Why do you need two? I know it doesn’t matter for your question, but I’m genuinely curious what the use case is.

      If I’m doing a lot of work on the numpad side I prefer to keep the right hand there and use the mouse with the left hand.

      It’s a pretty nieche use case

      Keeps carpal tunnel at bay. Well, helps but doesn’t totally prevent it by itself.
