You love that laser mouse of yours but you dread using it when the only surface available to you is a high gloss or glassy surface. Well folks – Logitech finally has a solution for you called Darkfield Laser Technology. I’ll let Logitech describe the actual technology (via their official press release):

“To track on glass (that’s at least 4 mm thick), Logitech Darkfield uses dark field microscopy to detect microscopic particles and micro-scratches on these surfaces, rather than tracking the surface itself. Similar to the way in which our eye sees the clear night sky, the mouse’s sensor sees the clean areas of glass as a dark background with bright dots – the dust. Then, the sensor interprets the movement of these dots to track exactly where you’ve moved the mouse.”

Darkfield Laser Technology is available in two new mice from Logitech – the Logitech Performance Mouse MX and the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX for mobile users.
