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 :)

I didn’t think about it too much but the Steelseries QcK has done me well for years. It’s a thin, soft mat with a nice sliding not too rough surface. Comes in different sizes.

I’ve been using QcK mousepads for over 2 decades now. Still happy with them.

Just had a look at these actually, good reviews across the board it seems. Looks promising!

I concur with the person above. I have a 4yo QcK Edge mat that still looks and feels almost new. If you thoroughly soak and clean them when they start to get grimy they’ll keep their properties for a very long time.

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.

Steel series pads tend to be pretty good and have lasted for me, although I don’t play competitive fps anymore so that’s a major part of it.

Dunno, we’ll see. I hope it will.

There’s a lawsuit against microsoft for using copyrighted code to train their coding LLM and it’s being decided.

I personally use a glass pad but they aren’t for everyone.
