Optical Mouse Users...What mousepad do you USE... - Page 2

If you look at my recent photo of my room, you will see the A4 paper on my desk!

hmmm must try this A4 paper trick..

BTW, not all A4 papers have the same texture. What brands and thickness do u guys use in particular??

lung · 4th Apr 2003, 04:23 PM

I dunno... The papers I used are 'sneaked' from my office's photocopier machine

I chose A4 paper cause it's cost-effective, disposable, plus it's environment-friendly! (not to mention recyclable too!)

Say can your optical mouse work without any mousepad/paper at all? Mine couldn't cos the surface of my desk is kinda plastic and shiny...

i think i'll try the A4 thing. but if i do i'll be having about 5 - 10 paper on it so it's thinking and i don't feel the hard table.

I will tell you guys, but don't laugh.

I use my notes from class!!!!

I use a text book

Juz an old one lying around... pretty expensive mousepad if u ask me.

A4 paper juz keeps wearing out... gotta higher grade, I guess...

Welcome to ARP Forums, envy!!!

i tried text book before, but i don't like it cos it's not totally flat. and rather thick.

Hmm... I'm using my plastic table top... No mouse pad, in other words. Works fine so far!

envy · 5th Apr 2003, 05:00 PM

The one I'm using is not too thick... Theory of Computing, small, thin but easily the most expensive text in my collection.
