i have a really cool one by Falcon Northwest. its not cloth but hard and gritty. you can spill drinks on it and wipe it off and don't have to worry about a thing. there is no reason it would ever need to be replaced.

I don't need to use one! Even if I wanted to use one it would only get in the way. Trackballs baby!

Add me to the naked list !

Mousepads just screw optical mice up.

Mousepads don't screw my mouse up. Although, occassionally, my mouse will get stuck in the corner of the screen, and no matter how much i shake it, it refuses to move.

That sounds alot more like a mouse problem, i think i had the same problem in a fps, my mouse would get stuck or something and i would look straight up and rapidly spin around in circles.

It is circular, and at one end has a big gel thingy to rest your wrist on.

for my "gel thingy" (to rest my wrist on) i use my cat ~:cool: ~D

My mouse doesn't need a gel thingy, your whole hand rests perfectly on it, it is the last word in mouse comfort IMO.

I actually use something called, in England, Bacofoil. It is just shiny metal foil, which I folded over and stuck to the desk. It is amazing when you use a ball-less mouse, the mouse just glides over the surface, but I tried it with a ball-mouse, and it could not get any grip. So, the moral of this is, do not use a ball mouse with Bacofoil.

Bacofoil? What the heck is bacofoil? I've never heard of it...

Bacofoil is just foil, but made by the Baco company. Okay, that was a load of rubbish, it is hard to explain, it is just a really frictionless foil, which makes it perfect to be used as a "mousepad" you get lightning quick reaction times with it, unless you have a limp wrist or somesuch.

No pad, except when I happen to have a reflective desk surface. Then I just grab any old thing to provide an opaque surface - the cardboard sheet at the back of an A4 pad is quite good...

Well, because I am anally retentive in regards to just about anything, I would direct you to this website:

See, if Melted Cheese does not stick to it then a mouse will glide across with an action as smooth as a baby's bottom. :charge:

After seeing the 'what type of mouse do you use' thread, i thought it would be a good idea to set up this one. The mousepad i use is a nice fabric one. It is circular, and at one end has a big gel thingy to rest your wrist on. The underneath has some weird rubber stuff for good grip on your desk.

same ~:cheers: i find its comfotable, doesn't affect my mouses performances atall and still allows me enough room to move it around.

I just use the table top but I had to get an optical mouse as the area is always covered in ash and beer stains

mousepad? mouse? what are these things you speak of.. i use a keyboard

Mikeus Caesar

Jango, are you saying you use your keyboard, and you don't actually have a mouse...because if so, then that is cool. My old mouse once broke, and i had to only use a keyboard for a few days while my current one was posted to me. It's difficult, but so fun. Now i know all sorts of short-cuts and hotkeys!!

I use a ye olde Advanced Dundeons & Dragons Player's Handbook. I think I borrowed it off someone year's ago and never gave it back. . .
