Anybody know of a pad that's specially make for use with an optical mouse? I'd like to find something that's super smooth, maybe Teflon coated. Any ideas?

Optical mice don't need pads at all - any surface works - even a glass desktop (that's very smooth.) Use whatever you like. When I travel I often use a slick magazine as a surface.

corky-g, I know optical mice don't need a pad. I was just looking for something that would make the mouse movement as smooth as possible and would reduce the wear on the bottom of the optical mouse. Mem's suggestion for the Everglide Giganta pad looks good.
