Well, I dont have a picture of it, but I got it free from the San Francisco Chronical a few years back. It has just the ammount of friction that I like (and I prefer alot of friction).

Its great if you like wasting money. Im telling you, bare desk + silicone spray will be way better than ANY "gaming" pad. * Mouse pads FTL.

No mouse pad here. I use a trackball.

Did you find trackball easier than optical? Just ma curiousity! :D

Less wrist strain, as I don't have to move my hand. And it works fine even for FPS's and CS:S.

The silicone will make steelwool slide with no scratches (dont try this though ;) ).

edit: you have PM turned off. Spray down your mouse area with silicone spray and wipe clean with a paper towel. Let it sit, kinda moist for a minute, then "buff" with a dry paper towel. The spray some silicone on a paper towel and rub your mouse feet. Let them sit for a sec, then "buff" them too. Im telling you, this will make your mouse so damn slick...

edit 2: if you have a nice wood desk i dont think i would do this. I have only had formica desks.

teflon tape on feet, and just bare desk:p course its a cheap computer desk with top surface that is printed with small greyish bluish dots of different shades, like some cheap particle board office furniture. good for mouse sensors i figure.

Yeah.. I figured a bare surface brings a fair stablity, however sensibility such as a quickness drops compare to have a pad. :)

Pads are for losers ;)

Unless you have one of those rough surface or glass surface desk, in which case you might need it.
