The only way that's possible is that there is something under it that is close enough for the sensor to scan and/or the sensor of your mouse is really good and has good range.

If you are talking about a cheap generic $9 mouse, and a coffee table that is 1 meter off the floor with nothing closer under it, than you are full of

That was one thing that the Laser Mice had to brag about... being able to be used on a clear surface (such as a glass top desk). I'm fine with my mx510 for now

The glass table is about 2 feet off the ground, and I'm using a $15 Microsoft mouse. It sort of works, but it's really cool (actually, annoying is a better word) because I have to move the mouse 3 times as further to move the cursor the same distance as if I were on an opaque surface.

My $15 Creative optical mouse can't work on glass surface, but my MX518 and G5 work on every surfaces.
