the white noise mouse pad is not an official thing, but it's reported to
work for some optical mice. I haven't tried it myself. YMMV.

The pad has different resolutions for x and y axis, and one axis (x axis?)
seems to be more sensitive to wrong spacing (if the mouse only moves in one
direction it could also be a symptom of a mousepad rotated by 90 degrees).
So maybe you need to experiment with the grid size a bit.
