Would you like to test it on one of these?
The gridded mousepad reminds me of an Alfadata optical mouse I'd bought for my Amiga about a decade earlier. Don't suppose they're using the same primitive sensor?
I was "lucky" enough to be using Sun boxes at uni at that time, and the oldest of the bunch came with optical mice that ONLY worked on the special metal, gridded mousepads. My mouse wasn't that shitty, but it was far less tolerant than even the cheapest optical mouse you can get today.
Also, while it came with a charger base, the charging electronics were shitty and so it didn't charge properly, I preferred keeping charged AAA batteries around and manually change them, while using my high speed wall chargers for the depleted ones.
