G100s, lighter color mousepad, less lift-off distance?

I have a Logitech G100s and plain black cloth mousepad. The LOD is slightly too high for me. Will a light grey cloth mousepad lessen the lift-off distance?

Not necessarily, try a hard surface, like your desk if LOD gets lower.
You can always put a small piece of tape over the sensor,
like
and experiment with how much of the sensor hole you need to cover to not block tracking, and find the right LOD for you. I could reduce my G100s' LOD to about 1mm

U can recognize ur model by number: the newest is 910-003615. If u have lower number, for example 910-003538, it means that u have N1301T.
Apparently the newest batches are only available in Europe. I also contacted Logitech regarding my g100s that the S/N and P/N don't match up with the ones on the box, hopefully they contact me soon. Looks like Logitech is selling refurbished G100s that start with 810-00XXXX in boxes with 910-003533 on it. I'll know more when they decide to respond back.

no number on logitech mice ever match the number on the box including serial number. this makes returns very difficult. idk why logitech can't match the box with the mouse but it's like that with every logitech mouse i've had . i purchased a g400s from staples and it had problems so i returned it and staples accused me of trying to scam them, had to argue with 2 employees and a manager before they finally refunded me with an attitude. i tried returning a g100s to target and they refused my return due to serial numbers not matching as well. these are brand new products that the numbers don't match. even new mice i've had shipped directly from logitech and amazon don't match the numbers on the box.

This trick worked great for me, thank you! Although in my case i used a white-golden colored scotch tape. It's semi-transparent but still worked. +Rep

I'm glad it helped. However, I cannot take credit for this "trick" seeing it's as old as optical sensors. Especially the Abyssus was tape-modded heavily throughout the FPS community. Note though, that the tape might reduce tracking speed, and most definitely reduces malfunction speed. If you're a low-sens gamer, you should run a couple of tests to see whether the sensor's behavior gotten worse. While a low LOD is nice for many, a low malfunction speed is worse than a high LOD for low sensitivities.

nice, i had no idea about this trick being so old. I will run some tests on enotus and do some intense deathmatch in cs:go to see if i hit the malfunction speed (i'm a medium sens gamer - (i will measure cm/360 to confirm)) and update here if anything is different compared to the mouse w/o tape.

I ran some enotus test results and played some deathmatch to see how it compared to the g100s without any tape
Enotus test results:
Results without tape: 2.94 m/s

Results with tape: 2.92 m/s


There seems to be no difference in the malfunction speed with or without the tape fix...The LOD on my mouse is about 1 mm after the tape fix. Prior to that it probably was around 2 or higher.
After Deathmatching on CS:GO for a half hour I didn't hit the malfunction speed yet. My cm/360 is 76.6.
Mouse settings when I played CS:GO: 1000 DPI, Raw input (6/11 windows sensitivity), .54 in-game sensitivity
hope this helps someone reading.
