It is a new Logik with red led and fresh batteries.
Possibly your mouse pads reflect light? They must be dull.

Both new fabric. Mouse works well on my wooden desk, but noisy and uncomfortable on wrist.

Why are you conflating two unrelated issues?
Cordless = bluetooth (or wi fi)
Mouse = reflective surface (laser) or slippery surface (roller ball)
Laser mice can be very fickle, depending on design.

Just checked the batteries, which were pretty low.
The mouse switches itself off when not in use, but it is only 3 months old.
Is that about right in terms of battery life?
If not then I may go back
to corded.

For the Logitech M220 wireless mouse which I mentioned, the single AA battery lasted for well over 2 years. Not heavy use, but regular use.
But as others also mentioned, YMMV/YMWV.
