Anyone still use mouse pads?

I use a mouse pad even though I technically don't need one since I use a Logitech MXErgo; however, my wrist needed some extra support, so I got a cheap pad with the wrist cushion on it.

Well I play CoH on my lazy boy with the keyboard on my lap and the tower at the side with my 75 inch TV in front of me soooo I use one of those armchair caddys with yes a mouse pad on it.

I'll say I've gotten to appreciate "mouse mats" more - when the thing's also under your keyboard, probably part of your monitor as well, it's not going *anywhere.*

Ooh I may have to make a COH version now

 

Please do.  I use an inexpensive mouse mat and it's very much an improvement.

 

I'm curious:  How is this constructed?  I mean, where do you get materials for a mouse pad that can be printed upon?

Yes I do use mousepads, otherwise my laser mouse goes (more) nuts on a shiny surface.

 

Oh, and while I like your design, it tends to work better on darker backgrounds - so if you could share how you printed that, I'd love to do a couple of my own.

WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE.

Look out for me being generally cool, stylish and funny (delete as applicable) on Excelsior.

I own an online business and do some dropshipping, several companies offer mousepads so I had it printed through them. It's a 1/4 inch thick neoprene, they use a DTG printer but I'm not sure what the top surface is that they print it on

I see.  I misunderstood and thought that there was a way to create it at home.

CAN you create this stuff at home?

YES.  A bit of rubberized craft foam, hobby glue and a suitable surface fabric.

Is it cheaper?

Not really.  The finished product is worth more than the raw materials.

If you want to be godlike, pick anything.

If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

Heh, once I started using the Logitech mice that have "Dark Field" tech, I don't need anything but a surface. They'll even work on glass (tested!).
