Back on the pad& no probs.Same thing happens to me on a grey mouse pad with dirty black splotches.And here I am, with optical mouse, that works fine on a grey, featureless mat. It wouldn't work on the plastic coated "view of earth from space" one I used previously. It depends on make/model of mouse as much as anything, I suppose.
I think the controlling variable isn't the "grey", it's the "black splotches" which has a different reflectivity than does the grey foam.
