Whether it is optical or not, but better if it is, the mouse pad.

People pay five bucks for mousepads with cartoon characters and shit, which I think is not too smart, but I have found the optimal mouse pad.

A piece of parquet flooring. You wouldn't fucking believe how smooth it is, like ice without the coldness. See at my front PC there is a glass top on the table, therefore the mouse would not work. So I got this flooring I never installed and just broke off a piece. Six by six inches square. It is the fucking bomb I tell ya. It is so smooth and I don't think it has to be limited to optical meeses. The laquer finish should not get caught up in your balls.

I am going to look for a vendor. I will break down these tiles which are 12" by 12" down to 6" by 6" which gives me four per. I say a buck apiece. And I have lots of them, enough for a hallway (exactly in fact). Fuck the hallway. What's more I have a few other things.

Like these old albums, Benny Goodman and shit. Man those are weed rolling tables. CD covers are coke tables. There are so many things. Maybe I should open up a website.

But the thing for the mouse, this is something I think I want to sell. I'll get around to it. All I really should do is to put on some glue, just a little bit to help hold it together. You would not fucking believe how smooth it is. If you do manual graphics on the computer with a mouse, this is the shit, really. But then you need the high grade one, which is a bit bigger and is really stuck together so the mouse underpads (?) don't get caught up on the seams. This can be arrainged but it would be more like three bucks.

Fuck I need an eBay store already !

But you really should try this. If I take to trying to sell them I'll throw it down in Forsale, but you can just get one tile from any tile store as a sample and try it yourself. To make money I will need stupid people.

Think I can find any out there ?

Thing with parquet, it is also attractive. Aesthetics sells. In fact that's damnear all that sells anymore.

When I had a desktop computer I used a piece of leftover laminate flooring as a mousepad. It was the best one I ever had.

That might be the idea if I can get it into Walmart. A classy mousepad.

I don't even use a mousepad. The faux wood grain pattern on my PC desk works great.

I use a razer mouse pad and a razer mouse.
I am hardcore gamer...and I tried several expensive mouses and mouse pads ( top layer is important).
It all depends on your play style what fits best.

At work..I just use the desk, it is good enough for that.

I'm using a several year old one. It was a fundraiser from my kid's soccer team about six/seven years ago. His picture on the mouse pad. Today he's six feet tall, skinny and in need of a shave. But on the pad forever captured is him at age 12.

Captured on a mouse pad ? That doesn't sound pleasant.

LOL

Yes...it is a trackball, but unlike most I've seen where the ball is located dead center, this one is on the side where your thumb rests comfortably on it.

Hey...technologically challenged here...ask anybody who has met me. But I make great bread.....
