Best mousepad for optical mouse - READ!

I have a friend who took a piece of printer paper, laminated it, and taped it to his desk - makes a rediculously good mousepad for an optical mouse.

I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical - should be good for any optical mouse.

let me know what you think.
 
You don't need a mousepad for a non-optical mouse either. I use a pad for my optical because it glides better on the pad, and it reads more accurately.
 
I have found that with both a microsoft and a logitech optical mouse, I need some sort of "pad" or else they do not track well and the cursor hangs. I think this is 'cuz my cheapo workstation has a shiney fake wood surface. I haven't tried the sheet 'o paper trick yet, but think I will. 😉
 
spending $15+ on a ratpadz for an optical mouse which wouldn't need a mousepad...totally not worth it
 
hehe shu8, you new here? One thing we all do around here is buy stuff we don't always need 😀

I used my MS optical on a piece of paper for awhile, got sick of it.

GT: I got one from citibank, reminding me of days like mothers day, fathers day. <g>
 
I find 3M PMS to be a very good companion to the optical mice, consider sUrface 1030 as well.
 
i use my desk. works fine, and i need 2x2 foot area when i play quake 3. my sensitivity is really low. unless anybody knows of a mouse pad that big?
 
3M Precise Mousing Surface, you can'y go wrong with it. I've use one for almost 3 years now 😉 though I'm using a track and ball mouse.
 

will this help be get a finer aim in Counter-Strike? 'Cause right now i'm using a 3M &quot;Precise Mousing (is this even a word?) Surface&quot; with my &quot;new and improved by 33%&quot; MS optical mouse and I still can't get these bastards in my crosshairs at a long range. :/
 
I use a regular rubber backed fabric mousepad for mine. I know I don't &quot;need&quot; one, but after using my mouse for awhile on my keyboard tray, there is a nice worn-out spot where the black finish has rubbed off.
 
Hey borealiss, I can believe the 2 square feet need while playing Q3, but actually I just measured and my Explorer moves only one inch to move the cursor from one side of the screen to the other.
