    What mousepad do you use for your optical mcie..

    a logitech MX300...
    After a few rounds with the Giganta..ACtually 12 hours of Q3 and CS
    I notice the mouse feets are stating to wear off...

    I've been looking for different mousepads. But I can't afford to buy a good one. So now, I'm using A4 paper! Works very well. :)

    func 1030, but it will set you back RM120 :)

    Precision at its best, and its double sided, so you're actually buying two mouse pads. Yet to tarnish mine even after hours and hours of fragging.

    I use plain A4 paper... Dispose every two weeks :)

    That's what I'm doing now! Cheaper than getting a proper mousepad, but I don't dispose every 2 weeks! More like a month. :)

    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??

    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.

    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! ;)

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