Logitech G5 on black mousepad

Has anyone here heard of the rumors that this mouse will not work on a black mousepad?

If this is true, Logitech really f'ed up and made a big mistake.

A friend is looking to buy the G5 and had heard that it will not work on a black surface.

There are even claims that Logitech has confirmed this and is simply telling people to go out and buy a blue mousepad.

Need some help here.

I dont know why it wouldnt work on a black surface...

The G5 has big pads underneath that glides very smoothly over most surfaces so I don't think you need a mouse pad with it.

Curious though, I did try it on a black book cover and on black leather surface and didn't see any problems.

I have a cheap Logitech optical mouse with a big blue mouse pad and they track great. but when i tried it on a fUNC pad, it would lose it's sensitivity and simply not track if i went a little too fast. maybe it's a logitech thing

black does absorb the most light of any color so it's logical that it would be the color that causes problems.

I use a black Ratpad and have no trouble at all.

G5 + Func 1030 (smooth) = no problems...
