Hiya peeps, my mouse mat has served its time, and it is time for a new one. Until now, I’ve had one of these huge ones, that cover half the desk. But I think this time I’m gonna aim for a normal-sized one. I’d also like to avoid cheap Chinese wares or anything low-quality. Anyone got any nice recommendations for mousepads? Do you have soft ones or hard ones? wink Are there any brands out there that stand out among the plethora of choice in terms of quality?
The most important aspect of it for me is the “feel good” factor.
edit: Bonus points if there are any Linux-oriented ones, as in merch. And minus points for amazon links :>
Lemmy know :)
Haven’t seen a mouse pad in two decades… 🤣
But the sound of the mouse against the desk is usually awful imo, that’s the primary reason for a mouse pad for me almost.
I recently started using a piece of paper taped to a TV-dinner-table, does that count? It is a nice piece of paper though (slightly larger than standard notebook paper, it’s art paper I think… something I found randomly while re-arranging things).
At one point I was using an infrared mouse which worked somewhat better on rough surfaces, so that’s why I ditched the mousepad.
because we all use linux and can hopefully make fun if ourselves…
waifu mousepad.
Eh, just grab one from Walmart or office depot. At about 5$ it’s effectively disposable. A mouse pad is something I have a hard time dropping more than 10 on. They all end up stained, corner bending etc.
i got an amazonbasics one for really cheap - wont link it but it’s held up really well and is very comfortable.
It’s a basic answer, but Razer mousepads always served me well.
