Bluetooth MX-1000 Problems

[DRJ1014]

Recently my friend bought the diNovo Media Desktop Laser Keyboard with mouse. He has the G-7 Logitech mouse so he sold me the bluetooth mx-1000. So i went out today and bought a Kensington blue tooth USB 2.0 Adapter (bestbuys only bluetooth USB) I installed it and searched and found the mouse, i installed it and everything works but one thing. The mouse wont work on any surface but something shinny. I used my old mouse pad just a regular padded mouse pad and it doesnt work on it, i put my friends half life book down and it glitches around but works, I am now using my friends UTI work book because it has somewhat a shinny surface. I put the mx-1000 on his dell mousepad and it works perfect. His g-7 mouse works on all the surfaces mine dont. What is the problem or meaning of this?

Mine works too on any surface..
Are you sure it's bluetooth, btw? My bluetooth Logitech is an MX900, while the MX1000 is Fast RF.

We opened up the box and he gave it to me right then so no he didnt do anything to the mouse.

Yes it is bluetooth because there is no usb connect for the base and there is the bluetooth symbol right on the mouse.

it is wierd because it only works on a certain surface for me

Ok, I found it on thier site. They just don't have the MX1000 Bluetooth version available separately.
Is there any packing material or plastic covering on the bottom of the mouse?
