Cheap RIGID mousepad!

Save me from having to use a hardback book whenever I get tired of my office chair and decide to take my mouse and keyboard over to my sofa! I need a cheapish mousepad that has to be metal or hard plastic.

This seems to be the cheapest Overclockers do, but I actually bought one a few months ago and it was NOT properly rigid at all, it would bend as easily as a politician to the recording industry's interests, so I had to send it back. What's the cheapest pad I can get that's as rigid as a pornstar on the blue pill?

Thought of using a TV tray if you're on the sofa? sit comfy on the arm of the couch and it's nice and flat

Got one, using it for the keyboard!

Hmm... nobody? Is there any way a Don could move this to the PC Gaming forum? I might have more luck in there...

I have never found hard mats to be much good, a little bit of dirt and the mouse feels like its scratching along the surface. My suggestion would either be a book with a cloth mat on it or maybe try using a trackball? They are pretty good if you don't have much space to use them.

Not sure you'll find anything much cheaper than that.

The best rigid pad I have at the moment is a SteelSeries - I got it for a tenner on sale at the purple shirt place.
