Well .. I am living proof it does work.
I am using my SUN3/50 on one a SPARC mouse pad.
I'd didn't ven think it wouldn't work.
SUN3 mouse part#:
401162-529/A
SN ELT CR26963
SUN 370-1169-01

Mouse Pad:
NCV 402105-003

The optical mice I have used seem to work on all mouse pads ... Large grid
or fine.
