? FAQ
How does the “Darkfield” sensor work on glass?
Unlike standard optical or laser mice that use surface irregularities to track movement, **Darkfield** technology uses the smallest possible details (like dust or microscratches) to create a map of the surface. This allows the Performance MX to track on glass as long as it is at least 4mm thick.
Can I use the mouse while it is charging?
Yes! The Performance MX features a **flexible charging system**. You can plug in the Micro-USB cable to the front of the mouse and continue working while the internal AA battery recharges. Note that it still requires the Unifying receiver to be plugged into the PC for data transmission.
What should I do if the side buttons stop working?
If the specialized thumb buttons aren’t responding, it’s usually because the **Logitech Options** or **SetPoint** background service has stopped. Restart the application or check your software settings to ensure the buttons are assigned to the correct functions.
