Hard surface for using a mouse in bed?

Cromulent · 12 Jul 2021 at 03:57

My desktop computer is currently completely broken, so I only have my laptop. Since my desk is full of stuff, I can't use my laptop there, so in the meantime, I've been using my laptop on my bed. The only problem is I need to use the trackpad rather than a mouse because I don't have a hard surface to work from. Can anyone recommend a solution to this problem at all? I want to get back into gaming, and this would fix my issues.

No space to put a temporary folding table?

I was thinking more of a hard mouse mat but not sure which ones are considered good. I have a Razer Naga Pro mouse.

Unfortunately not.

I've got a Corsair one, can't remember the model though sadly. I just had a look online but all the ones I can find now with hard surface are super expensive RGB lighting ones!

A normal mouse pad with a hardback book under it. You know, one of those large size coffee table books your sister got you for Christmas.

Take a look at trackballs with the ball under the thumb.

I have no idea why everything has to be RGB these days.
