Mouse Mat?
Moderator: Claw
Do any of you use a mouse mat? In the past I never have. but now that I have this Sharkoon Rush Laser mouse I'm seriously thinking about getting one... not because of friction issues, but because I need to get a mouse mat with a fence around it cos controlling this laser mouse is like riding a rodeo!
It's crazy, the thing has a life of its own!

I've been thinking of something fancy, now that I'm in the 'Fancy Mouse Club'.Trig wrote: S&S Steel thing, its ok but I'll pick up a replacement in the next 6 months or so.
Have you noticed a big difference between your fancy mat and the likes of your desktop surface and other 'normal' mats?
Really? So you have a really small one then?Hammer wrote: My mouse mat is the size of a small desk!
A3 is bigger than A4 isn't it... I'd have to clear off a lot of important bottles, cans, sweet wrappers, post-it notes, cups and saucers to fit something like that on... does it have a sort of plastic surface?andrew wrote: I've had the same DKT foam type mat for years, its A3 sized and is great.
I've tried one of those Gel mouse mats, for those that can tolerate them they're great, but I found they rubbed on my wrist because I apply too much pressure when using the mouse, or the Gel part would block my range of movement.Dangerous Bob wrote: I use one of them things with a gel wrist support.
Or a pad of A4
I just wondered, and I suppose it's something I should have said from the start, if there is something that works particularly well with laser mice. With infra-red mice you can't use certain coloured surfaces such as black or red.
This has been really interesting, thanks gents, and Hammer.

430mm x 350mm , so just bigger than 2 bits of A4. It is a dull smooth fabric surface, like a proper old school foam mouse mat with a top layer, except this doesn't have the foam base. If that made any sense !

Out of curiosity... how big is your mouse? Do you use both hands to push it around?
