3 Things to Know About Thick Desk Mats and Mouse Sensor Lift-Off

Sensor lift-off only happens with mats 5mm or thicker Most standard 2-3mm mats won’t cause lift-off, even with aggressive movements.

Tall gaming mice are less prone to the problem Their sensors sit deep enough to maintain contact on typical mats.

Aggressive slamming can still cause issues on any mat Uneven fabric compression from hard movements can briefly break sensor contact. Stick to mats under 3mm to avoid this entirely.
