Weekend Open Forum: What type of mouse pad do you use?

[hahahanoobs]

Melamine (think: kitchen cupboards) works very well as long as it doesn't mess with your sensor.

I was told, or read some where, the optical mouse don't need a mouse pad, just a piece of white paper, so I cut a piece of white xerox paper 4"x8" & it works perfect for my Logitech optical mouse.

I was using a blue one until I bought this Gigabyte pad a few months ago.

My 2 others are blue

As far as mouse pads go, I use the wet suit type of pads. At home, I still have and use my original Babbages mouse pad.

uhh anyone but you probably uses a mouse. Wow I can't believe someone still uses trackball! Not an insult but seriously I have never seen someone use a trackball lately. If you are a gamer, can I ask how you game?? Just very very interested.

Yeah if you're trying to alleviate carpal tunnel, and you still need a proper mouse for gaming, check out the Evoluent Vertical Mouse.

I use a cheap Logitech mouse on my pant leg or the arm of my recliner.

The mouse for my HTPC only works on non-cloth surfaces tho, so I use it on my fake wood desk.

I haven't used a mouse mat in years. Didn't think there was any use for them anymore since mice went optical and tracked well on just about any surface ?_?

I got a Xtrac ripper about 7 or 8 years ago. It turned out a bit bigger than I needed but I cut it in half and now have one for work and for home. I've only ever had to wash one half once after a coffee spill and out of everything I've ever tried the mouse feet always stay clean and the surface has proved to be extremely durable and has a great feel. If I ever needed to get another one or give a recommendation it would be for one of these. Honestly, I can't think of one negative thing to say about these.

Haven't used a mouse pad in maybe 10 years. My old Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 doesn't require one and operates fine on a laminated table top.

I use a huge razer goliathus pad just to keep my oak top desk clen and not have scratches

No pad anymore, just a brown wood nightstand
