Anyone still use mouse pads?

[Jawbreaker]

I know I don't need one for this mouse especially, but I just had to print one off

[Enchantica]

I use the same one I used from CoH live so it's a twenty-year-old mouse pad.

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.

I use the big kind that also goes under my keyboard.

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.

Still use them.  Have run into too many reflective/clear/glass surfaces that I don't leave home without them.

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.

[Hyperstrike]

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.

[WanderingAries]

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!).
