Do printed logos on mousepads affect mouse tracking?

No. Optical and laser mice track based on surface texture and micro-imperfections, not color or ink. A printed logo is just dye on the same fabric or plastic, and as long as it isn’t raised, glossy, or creating a hard edge, your mouse won’t notice it. Cheap mousepads with thick, shiny logos can cause erratic tracking, but any decent pad prints the logo smoothly enough. You’re overthinking this — buy the one you like looking at.
