Clever! Ed

Ikea should never have stopped making these jerker desks, they are ideal for an office workbench.

Those two oscilloscopes must weigh 100 lbs together. That bench is plenty strong.

But there's something weird about the Ikea varnish that makes most optical mouses not work.

Ours have a varnish finish. LED-type mice don't work.

There is a Dell laser mouse that works.

I have built the table in my home lab from 5* IKEA Pronomen wood sheets and a lot of legs, 12 large ones for the L-shaped main table and some short ones to create the 1st and 2nd floor.

But digital scopes are so quantitative. And fast.

I had these problems as well. The issue is that many things are featureless in the IR or even red, so there is nothing to track or correlate.

What really works are mice with a blue laser.

What has replaced al mice for me is a Lenovo model MB230B.
