Is the mousepad dead?

[Arkaign]

Gamers need mousepads I have a massive one.

Really ties the room together. I hope no one ever takes a piss on it.

For a long time, I used a large piece of cardboard from pizza box.

Wanted one of those, but didn't want to pay $20.

Same. Mine's a Scooby Doo pad I got from my daughter :^D

 

[TridenT]

Dead? Not necessarily... It's barely limping along.

Well the kit comes with a lot more. I think it was actually $14 for a long time. For me, it was worth the price for the mug, the magnet, and the mouse pad. I don't really use are the Urban Achiever certificate, bowling shirt patch, booklet thing, and pinky toe (with nail polish).

I need to use one with my desk, it's made of wood with shiny plastic-y stuff on top and my mouse miss reads often without it

Where I saw them for sale, they were sold individually and I think it may have been $25 or more -- I forget.

Oh well, my laser mouse works on my Galant table. If I have to replace it, I'd probably go for a Microsoft Blue-track (or something). That thing is amazing and even works on carpet! Got one for my laptop.

I still use them. I stopped, but my laser mouse put dozens of dimples in the finish of my wooden desk.

 

[IronWing]

I use one, easier on the wrist.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

Haven't used one in over a year or 2.

I needed a bigger pad though because they fucked up the feet on my mouse when I'd run off the pad then catch them on the edge of the pad.

Honestly I haven't used one in years, at home or at work.

When I walk around at work I don't see anyone using one...

need one... there's a large difference between use of the web and gaming. I can see why you wouldn't need one considering how well they do react on basically anything.

I disagree. I game quite a bit and don't find the need for a mouse.

Time for a little BF3 action come to think of it.

 

[vi edit]

I use them; fabric on neoprene. It gives the right amount of friction, and protects the feet.

Yep! Still rocking a 12 year old Dilbert mouse pad with my Logitec revolution. Those types of pads make the best mousing surface with wireless mice.

I'm still using the Max Payne pad that came with the game back in '01. Sad you don't get stuff like that anymore, hell you barely get a box anymore.

 

[dbk]

never use a mouse without one. feels sloppy

 

[mizzou]

I still use my max Payne promo pad lol

 

[TheVrolok]

My current pad is 7 years old, give or take.

 

[sportage]

I found the perfect solution. Look on amazon for large or huge mouse pads. I only use one that covers nearly the entire desktop. At least 3 foot x 4 foot. And there you have it, no limits mouse pad as well as a nice desktop cover. Only get one with rubber backing and non plastic top. You won't regret getting a huge desktop mousepad.

 

[phucheneh]

Still have a small crescent-shaped Everglide pad that I would use if I still played PC games. Otherwise, I see no need.

Those soft pads are the devil. Beyond worthless; they even sucked with ball mice.

 

[JBT]

I haven't used one it quite sometime. If I did It would have to be a huge one.

 

[rga]

I'm still using one I got in 1990.

Me too. Well, maybe it was mid-to-late 90's. It's got black rubber on the bottom with a Canadian flag on the top. My desk is a workstation with holes in the metallic keyboard tray. The mouse doesn't work without a pad.

I had not used a mouse pad in probably around 8 years. Then last week I was in the store and saw the Steelseries 4HD pad and I liked the feel out of it. So did a little reading and read how it is considered one of the best out there and was designed for the Steelseries Sensei mouse (best mouse I've ever owned I'd say) so I figured I'd try it. I am really happy with it. It feels great and the mouse does feel smoother. Before this I used the surface of my desk. Good $20 spent I felt.

Ever tried to use an optical mouse on an epoxy resin lab bench?

Yes, I use a mousepad.
