Apple - What is the best surface to use the Magic Mouse on?
Basically you need a gaming surface, some of them was made specially for use with Apple mouses:
Cupertino Mouse Pad — $15
They say it's made by company located at Cupertino, California. Also it works (as a surface).
MacPadd — $25
It's basically just a piece of finished aluminum and I guess it will feel the same as a top surface MacBook. Tom'sHardware says that something's weird with their delivery, but maybe it's b.s. It's also reviewed on Youtube.
Just Mobile AluPad — $45
They clim it's made exclusively for Apple products and there are a couple of positive reviews on Youtube for this one here and there. They say that the surface is pleasant on touch.
a Better Table
Consider finding a better table than one that you use now. Just grab your MacBook and mouse and go furniture shop that you like and find a table which fits you the best. You will get biggest possible working surface and as a bonus you can improve ergonomics of your workplace. And of course keep your table clean (I know it's hard. I have a cat:).
cloth-covered mousepad (has some issue with correctly tracking)
You'll need a mousepad with a printed pattern on it, or a very coarse thread count. The Magic Mouse was designed foremost with low power consumption in mind, and not for twitch gaming. It sometimes can't see the individual threads on some cloth mousepads well enough to track. A busy printed pattern will be better than a large two color company logo.
You can buy almost any of the printed mousepads at the Apple store and get good results.
If the feel was ok, and tracking was the only issue, I suggest simply swapping the mousepad out for one with a printed pattern.
You can also test this out without buying a new one by wrapping your old mousepad in some old clothing or tshirt of yours and testing it. If that fixes the problem, get a new mousepad, or glue a square of shirt material to the top of your existing mousepad.
Put Scotch tape on the bottom of your Magic Mouse (as recommended by @Will) and use a binder cover as your "mousepad".
I had a spare 3-ring binder and simply cut off the cover with scissors, then used some more tape to keep it from sliding around my desk.
It sounds hack, but it's cheap, and works really well! Much less friction, but still accurate and precise.
