I was reading on another forum a thread about the "high performace" mousepds like FUnc, etc. One person brought up an interesting idea, to make your own pad.

They said to take a sheet of plexiglass, sand with a high grit sand paper, and put contact paper on it. It sounds like it could work.

I started getting stuff for it yesterday. I got an 8x10 sheet of Lucite Tuff (since my lowes didn't plexiglass, and the sheets were .88 a piece)

Anyway, I still got to get the contact paper and then put it all together. Im thinking of making a stencil with a Japanese character with it, and spray painting it on a sheet of red contact paper in black, and then putting that on Lucite, and maybe put a clear sheet on top as well.

Has anybody tried a project like this? If so, how did it come out? Does it work well?
 
"and maybe put a clear sheet on top as well."
I don't think opticals like glossy surfaces. I'm using a cutting board (plastic), from Walmart. Big, cheap and doesn't look bad. 😉
 
i got one even cheaper, it was FREE 😀
its a folder, kinda rough surface, but not too rough. dark blue color. you may say it sucks, but i find it VERY smooth, as well as friends of mine who are hardcore gamers and have used loads of different pads. btw: i keep a few sheets of paper in the folder, to even it out. it works wonders. best "mousepad" i've ever owned.

Dude, go away.

Did you freeze a web developer in 1994 and just thaw him out recently to build that web site for you? 😀
 
Dear lord man he is asking for advice on a mouse pad he is making not a patent or a degree.....get your free advertising somwhere else!

And kindly leave anandtech alone before you wind up getting pimp slapped via the mighty power of admin for breaking furum rules.

anyway, shiny reflective clear surfaces + optical mouse = suckage.

i just use a mouspad with a wolf on it...because the wife likes wolves. i used to use an open notebook, so i always had something to write on when i wanted to jot something down
pffft to pricey "high performance" mousepads though
