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.

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

      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
