5 Use
5.1.1 About optical technology
The 350L MOUSE OPTICAL uses a technology in which a built in sensor takes
numerous photos per second and compares them with the ones previously made.
Since this is made using light, it is good to understand that the surface you use the
mouse on is an important item. Transparent surfaces like glass and mirrors will not
reflect the light of the mouse that much but let it go through. Also black or red
surfaces might give a bit of a problem since it absorbs a part of the light the mouse
emits. The best surface to use the mouse on will be a flat white surface, however
this does not mean that on other surfaces it will not work completely, the mouse
could react a bit slower than on a white flat surface.
5.1.2 Explanation of the buttons
The mouse has five different buttons and a scroll wheel. The functions of these
components are given in table 2. Use this table together with figure 1.
