Icemat. My desk is untreated glass so that wouldn't work. Icemat isn't worth the money. Any pad under $20 works just as well.

please elaborate
Rep and BT have been saying shit like "whoever has a hardon for me :lol:", and all of a sudden you're saying it -- but it's not even satirical as it would be with most posters, but actually comes off as legitimate since you do it so much and walk into their traps so much.

Just an observation, that's all.

I personally swear by the xtrac pro hs for optical mice.

although ive been known to also swear by the occasional piece of solid 1/8" cardboard cardstock :icon34:

how exotic is the rug under your mouse?

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

Desk here too. Veneer is smooth, dull, and has a non-repeating pattern on it... which is ideal.

If anything I'd like to find a way of reducing the friction on it a bit. Also after a few months you can see where I've been running the mouse on the desk because it dulls and stops working so well.

I can't find a mousepad big enough even if I wanted to use one... same for you?

I use a 49p cloth one. It feels better than any other i've used tbh, and as soon as it gets dirty, bam, gone, and i get another one. I have 5 in the cupboard so i can just change them when they get a bit old.

:D

I've got about 10 inches of space (horizontal) for my mouse on my desk, but since its a nice wooden finish and very smooth, I wouldn't use a mousepad even if I needed one.

I still have my quake everglide mousepad for when I had a bigger desk, but I don't really think it ever made any difference to my aim.

I was thinking more some teflon spray.

However you're right. I could use it for a few games then fry some chips on it :up:

Can you pop onto ICQ? I've got a spaky question to ask about something simple.

Yeah, that's it. Riddla, don't listen to glossy. He is right on one thing, though, he doesn't troll. He thinks the Internet is fOr ReAlZ sErIoUs BuSiNeSs. When he talks tough, it's because he's mad for real.

YO YO B, can I be a failure too? Whazzup money, I play this wigger card to annoy people. Welckum 2 2002. :icon30:

What fucking newborn uses mice? Wacom Intuos3 and a joystick are pure ownage, turds.

I either use my bedsheets, a cd binder or my leg as a mousepad (laptop)
