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.
the one that commerce bank gives out.
Big Corperations baby ~;)
jk its the only working one we have
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 use a square plastic strip one grey with black gridlines.
Bare desktop. Gives me the most freedom of movement.
Currently im using a Funk Pad(like 30ish bux) that i won in a lan center.
I don't need to use one! Even if I wanted to use one it would only get in the way. Trackballs baby!
bare desk, cus im a mentalist :dizzy2: :dizzy2: :dizzy2: ~:cheers: ~:cheers:
Hm....there seem to be a lot of naked desk people here....
Add me to the naked list !
Mousepads just screw optical mice up.
~:) i am also a bare desk person (my last mouse pad broke and i have never replaced it!) ~:)
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.Quote:

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...
A Japanese import with this picture on 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.Quote:

I use a wireless, optical mouse
so no pad
ichi :bow:
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:Quote:

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

I have a Wallace and Gromit mousepad somewhere.
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
I use one without crumbs on it.
