Mouse mat?

[Coojeekitten]

Up to now, I've been using a Microsoft 4000 wireless mobile mouse. It has this bluetrac tech, so it works on just about anything apart from glass. So I don't currently use a mouse mat.

I'm aiming to get a new mouse, probably the Razer Viper. Do I need to get a mouse mat with this, or can I just use it on my desk?

Personally, and what most people will say here, you'll get a much better experience with a mouse mat. Have you seen the Half Price Mouse mat sale thread?

I'll look for it now, although cost isn't that much of a factor.

I bought a Titanwolf XXL just before Christmas and it's been great for little over £10. There's a bunch with some really nice designs on them, makes your desk that little bit cooler/brighter.

It's pretty big too, more than enough space for both my keyboard and my mouse. As I mentioned, there's a lot of different designs/themes if the above isn't your cup of tea.

Looks pretty cool! I didn't expect a big mat like that, unless I suppose the keyboard slides around?

My keyboard feels solid on it, it doesn't move at all, so it makes for a good desk-topper/mousepad combination.

Here's an image with a full sized keyboard + mouse to give you a better idea.

Interesting, I hadn't even thought of getting one that big. What sort of surface is on the pad?

Yup, certainly worth a try for the money, thanks.
