I would like some help getting my habu mouse to work.
Here is a reference page.

I tried using some of microsoft's suggestions.

The laser sensor performs better on a smooth, light-colored surface. Try to use a different mouse pad or a different surface.

Similar behavior problems can be caused by most integrated USB ports. This occurs because most integrated USB ports supply a maximum of 100mA of power, but the Habu mouse requires 200mA. In this situation, the mouse typically loses power during game play. To work around this problem, obtain an external, AC-powered USB hub that supplies 500mA (max) to each port.



I am using a white gesso board for a mouse pad. I also tried using an externally powered usb hub

I still get this issue of the mouse not moving when i physically move the mouse too fast.

What kind of mousepad do I need to get the best gaming performance. Is my usb hub providing enough power or do I need another one that provides 500 mA to each port? I need to know these answers.

I think habu uses a special laser.

Are there better mice out there than this? What do you think would be best mousepad(needs to be large for 3rd person shooter)?
