Secretlab Magnus desk makes my mouse heavier and less smooth (magnetic pull issue)

Got the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL with the Magpad, and my Logitech Pro X Superlight is noticeably attracted to the desk. Glide feels heavier and less smooth than it should, clearly the magnets pulling on something inside the mouse.

Two questions:

  1. Is this specific to the Superlight or do all mice have this issue on magnetic desks? I need to replace the mouse anyway, so I'd rather pick one that doesn't fight the desk.
  2. Would a mousepad actually fix this? Honestly I'm skeptical because pads are thin, and I doubt a few mm of fabric/foam blocks the magnetic field enough to matter. Plus I like the clean minimal look of the bare Magpad and don't really want to cover it.

Anyone dealt with this? Curious what mice work well on the Magnus without the magnetic drag
