As any optical mouse, the ORTHOMOUSE needs a minimally reflective surface, in order to work. In other
words, it will not function properly over a transparent surface. In this case, we recommend the use of a
mouse pad. The lens and optical sensor have no direct contact with the surface, and will keep their
original features for a long period. Cleaning of those parts should be performed, when needed.
