They don’t work on glossy surfaces like polished wood, don’t work on non-textured surfaces, don’t work when there’s a large amount of incidental light. Every time I want to use mine, I have to go hunting for a piece of scrap printed paper. Plain paper won’t do either if there’s too much light, like from an open window.
I still use one though because it’s better than a trackpad, and it’s maintenance free.

Great, when and how much did you get it for?
Did you check out the new Apple Center at Kormangala (Forum Mall)?
