What type of mouse pad do you use?

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.

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.

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.

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

Re: What type of mouse pad do you use?

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 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.

Re: What type of mouse pad do you use?

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:

Re: What type of mouse pad do you use?

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. . .
