BlueTrack its Optical (BlueLight) not Laser.
Blue Specular Optics
Microsoft’s proprietary high-angle imaging optics generate more exact surface images — even of shiny surfaces such as granite and marble — instead of blurry, out-of-focus images, as can be produced by many of the leading laser mice. And blue light helps create high-resolution, high-contrast images for better navigation.
Four Times as Wide, More Diffuse Beam for Better Imaging and Tracking
The wider beam enables illumination of a larger surface area and allows more light to return to the sensor. This helps for tracking on irregular surfaces such as carpet, where smaller laser beams often get lost between the individual fibers. The BlueTrack Technology light source is optimized to provide illumination at the tracking surface that is more uniform than current laser or optical mice. This illumination is accomplished by using a new optical element, never before used in a mouse. The light source is encapsulated in a diffusing optic that smoothes out hot spots within the illumination profile. While the concept of diffused lighting is well known, the application of diffused light sources to mice is a Microsoft proprietary technology.
Incoherent Blue Light
Laser mice use coherent light that’s easily disrupted by dust and dirt, leading to poor tracking. The Explorer Mouse and Explorer Mini Mouse’s incoherent blue light doesn’t have the extreme sensitivity to dust, so the signal quality is maintained. This means your mouse will provide excellent performance even in a less than clean environment — you’ll get great precision performance in a dusty workshop or outdoors just as you do on an ideal clean surface.
Q: Why is a Blue LED light better than a red one or a laser? How does its DPI compare to other mice technologies?
A: Blue light allows the sensor to capture a high-contrast image of the surface. For example, the blue light beneficially interacts with fluorescent dyes in some surfaces to increase the amount of reflected light relative to an infrared laser beam. The physics is similar to that of the “blue light” used in crime-scene TV shows to examine surfaces for police investigations.Its normal that a high performance gaming mice to plug-in direct to yer pc due power-consumption as even my old DiamondBack Plasma LE has issue power it up if i don't direct plug into my pc.
Not to sure what u said abt
"the mouse puck cannot be used under 2.0 USB port means you cannot plug in any G15, Reclusa, Sidewinder keyboard".
Is it you meant that can't be use on USB 1.1 ports?..
Btw, its "
puck" (as it looks like a ice hockey puck) not "
punk"...
Cheers
maybe I angry of the puck called it as punk .... thanks for the correction
hmm doesn't Bluetrack is the next generation after laser?
but yes you rite that it is optic ...
And yes ... This mouse does not support 1.1 USB port due to the huge combination ...
hmm ...

ya, i understand y the size, but i am going to use it with my laptop + moving around pretty often... thus i find the dongle may be cumbersome...
bro ... the dongle is all in package .... so is still good for portable since it expel the charger and the huge socket ....
well I suggest to find sumthing to hang on or put your dongle into your beg might be better ... but still need a small table or some space for your mouse is a must ... if you can't then better yo use your laptop pad .... for controlling the mouse
oh well for the battery no need to afraid ... once you did charge 2 hours, you can use up to 70 hours if you not seriously gaming or to clearly tell you that ,... you don't always continues for spamming the mouse click or macros continuously ...
even is 8 cm .. but portable charging still another pro's of the portable usage .... instead of find the plug for charging go usb plug and charge thats simple =2=

never try for the mousepad

as it is better to preserve the mouse that you bought for that amount of money...just a thought.
