 What gets me is that nowadays -with mousepads becoming increasingly

because it gave me so much space to wrangle the rodent. Now you can
get proper mousepads that size fairly easily. Where was this
innovation back in the 90s? ;-P
 

THIS is why I've never used mouse pads.  Set the mouse so you don't have to pick up the mouse and move it back so you can continue moving the cursor in the same direction and it isn't precise enough to actually place the cursor ON a virtual button or point.  Set it so you can actually "press" on the required spot and you are doing a 3D loop with your wrist the move the cursor TO that spot.  And that was with a single monitor!
