Mouse Mat

Oblivion · 22 Oct 2011 at 18:29

Hi,

Can some one point me in the direction of the very large mouse mats i've seen people with? The kind that covers most of the desk...

Thanks

Edit: have seen this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-000-BB&groupid=702&catid=32&subcat= is this the best one would you say? Or are the Steel Series better?

The boogie bug is the big one that covers most of a desk.

Cool thanks. Anyone who owns one care to comment on it?

I have one. It is both massive and of a very good quality. A bit thinner than some other cloth mats and is not quite as good as my Everglide Titan, but for the money, I guarantee you will not find better.

Thanks everyone, pretty sure i will order the boogie bug tonight...

Does it completely flatten out after a while? I noticed the edges seem a bit curled up from the way its packaged...

Just roll it round the other way in the tube for a couple of days if needed it will flatten.

Im using one now, and never noticed it curl up at the edges. So, I guess yea it will flatten out. What do you think of it?

Ok thats good to know... it looks good, because at the moment a normal mouse mat is too small for me, keep having to reposition the mat and keyboard all the time, and i like the idea of having the keyboard on it and loads of room for the mouse...

I've just bought a Boogie Bug XL and wish I'd known about them earlier, great product. Mine does curl at the edges so I'm leaving it overnight in it's tube (rolled the opposite way) to see if that cures it.

Buy one, you won't regret it.

Had mine a fair old while now and man I wish I had bought two of them

, amazing bit of kit to own and easy to keep clean too.

Buy another?

Mine still hasn't fully uncurled after 2 weeks! Had it rolled the other way over night, no joy. It's only the left side, doesn't bother me much

Otherwise top product

My boogie aim arrived today, its massive and really good quality. Shame it overhangs my desk, I think I might get a stanley knife out and trim it.

horseunderwater · 23 Oct 2011 at 04:34

Had mine for about a year great mat the edges do flatten out

weird_dave · 23 Oct 2011 at 12:55

Had mine for ages and it's flat. And big. I actually count it as one of my best upgrades! I also wish I had another one. Possibly 2. One for work and a travel one

Kelt · 23 Oct 2011 at 12:58

Leaving it overnight in it's tube worked! No more curl!

Oblivion · 5 Nov 2011 at 10:20

ok, so 7 days with the boogie bug rolled up the other way round in its tube and it's still curling up at the edges... any ideas?

tigerstyle · 5 Nov 2011 at 10:33

add a smidge of hairdryer to warm it a touch, then weigh it down flat whilst it cools

Oblivion · 5 Nov 2011 at 12:59

Half an hour of hair dryer and the smell of warm rubber and it still curls... going back in its tube for another 7 days...

why couldnt they just sell it rolled up the other way in the first place. once you put the K/B on top it would have been fine...

tigerstyle · 5 Nov 2011 at 14:23

let it cool overnight, not for 20 minutes
