OK it's a little different than the usual thread, but I need a new mousemat, and I fancied getting a decent one this time.
Size: Max of 400x300 but preferably smaller.
Usage: I use Visio a fair bit, Paint Shop Pro, RPG games (MMO or otherwise) plus normal windows and office use.
Looks: Black is good and tasteful a must.
I've had a Ratpadz GS for a couple of years now. Top surface.
Depends what mouse you use, basic optical or ball mouse, get a Ratpadz, high end optical/laser get an Icemat v1 or 2.
I've got the IceMat, and its been awesome with my MX1000 :)
The Icemat 2 is ok, but not very good value for money.
Nip to your nearest Tesco's and they sell black marble/granite placemats for a couple of quid and they are excellent.
If you are feeling really cheap, have a look at the value chopping boards :lol: I think that is Zak33's idea :D
I can recommend the SteelPad QcK+

This one is available in different sizes.
Mousepad?.. people still use them? Dear lord.
Ideas are good, but does anyone actually use one of these? I can see that the surface might work, but is the thickness OK, and do they not slip around?Quote:

I have one that I tend not to use, as it eats through teflon mice feet and makes a slight 'scratching' sound when you use it - I guess this is due to the make up of the slightly 'course' glass surface.Quote:
