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.

It doesn't move or crinkle if you tape it down.

Of course when you forget and put your coffee mug on it and it gets wet
and tears and then you have to peel up all the tape too.

Super thin, kind of plastic so no rips or issues if it gets wet, I just
taped the closest edge by the edge of the desk and it does not shift at
all.  
It's actually kind of slippery all on it's own, so when the little mouse
feet wear off I think it'll still be effortless.

Best of all for a Razer product it does not require an internet
connection or special drivers to function, nor does it require
registration or activation.
