Re: CRAP Poll: My Mouse Is...

Maybe it's just me -or the average mice I use- but I've never really
seen/felt much advantage from mouse pads. Or rather, not from a mouse
pad over an average surface (there are times when a mouse pad is
absolutely necessary because the table you're on is just so shitty
that the mouse can't pick up anything, but in that case a piece of
paper would work just as well).

:) Last decade the stock mice from Dell and Lenovo couldn't cope with
this rare and exotic desk material called "wood". As for paper, it tends
to move or the edges get crinkled. Replacements are certainly cheap for
paper though.

Anyways, slick plastic or wood desktop surfaces feel somehow too
slippery to me. And there's that annoying hissing noise to consider
too. Or maybe I'm just used to having something under the mouse.
