Do alot of you still use mousepads?

[Jumpem]

The couple of threads got me wondering. I haven't used one since optical mice came out a long time ago.

Yes, you should desks just don't cut it specially when you have a glass desk like mine :-D you should get one even a cheap cloth pad is better than nothing you can get some nice quality cloth pads for under $20.

No, my woodgrained desk top works perfectly with my cordless optical. It's less restrictive than the limited area of a pad.

 

[LouPoir]

No more

I use one with a little gel wristpad thingy.

I would use my G5 directly on the desktop, which is mahogany, but even with the teflon feet it still marks up the wood after a few week s of BF2 .

Haven't used one for ages, although I have a cheapo (Free) one in my laptop bag in case a desk is nasty.

On my trackballs, no mousepad.
On my wireless, a mousepad makes it comfortable.

Same here. I find it much more comfortable.

Glass desk = mousepad

 

[Smartazz]

I use a mousepad. Less noise when I move the mouse and I'm used to it already.

My optical mice work fine on a wooden table top. I did find a use for two mousepads, though. I have both my USB external hard drives sitting vertically on them. That completely ended the slight resonance they make on the table top when on.

Yes, only for control in games. And for comfort with a little memory foam on the wrist end

Do now, after 4 years without thanks to new desk. Pad's already turning white from skin grinding off it. The glossier, nicer pads look and feel great, but the one I returned was causing too much skipping across the screen.

I used my desktop for a little while, but it was grinding the feet off of my mouse. I'm using a cloth Scooby Doo mouse pad now

I use an old Allsop pad. Much more precise than a wood veneer surface.

 

[beemercer]

Func 1030 FTW!!

 

[Ruptga]

I use my laptop's trackpad because I like it better, and my mouse was bought from walmart for thirty bucks. Then again, I bet a mousepad would make it a lot better, I might just have to try that if I can find one big enough.

 

[hubajube]

I use one from func.net.

 

[Seekermeister]

The only mousepad that I use is my pantleg.

 

[jadinolf]

I use them. Just like the feel.

 

[T9D]

Yeah I like the way they feel better. Not enough resistance on just my desk top and it slides all over to fast. Plus my wrist feels much better sitting on the foam rubber mouse pad than on a hard desk.

 

[benplaut]

i use a cloth promo pad... never saw the need for anything more

 

[CAL9000]

No.
