Describe Your Mouse Pad... (If You Have One)

[arwalden]

Mine is Dilbert sitting in his cubical and thinking to himself "How did people ever look busy before they had computers?"

[Padraig18]

1. Marvin the Martian

"Oh joy, another earthling!" :silly:

[Kamika]

2. Mine is grey

hard plastic and it says "The speed pad" on it.. pretty cool huh

At work i got a touchpad

[SiobhanClancy]

3. It looks like this...

:)

[GOPisEvil]

4. Here at work - an advertising for our fingerprint ID contractor

At home, an advertisement (shark-shaped) for Greg Norman clothing. Both gifts. Both unnecessary as I use optical mice home and office, but what the hell...

[arwalden]

5. Optical Mouse Here Too... But I Like The "Feel"

of having a padded surface to glide around on.

[jono]

6. Mine is black

and it has a squishy-gel wrist rest.

Not all that spectacular, but it does the job.

[arwalden]

7. Mine gets that way too sometimes... eventually...

... but I wash it LONG before it ever turns black.

-- Allen

8. Democratic Underground pad, though I don't need one

cuz I have an optical rollerball, but I love the pad, so I use it! :)

9. Probably the only good Turkish/Oriental carpet I'll own:

Love it, though! Makes me feel like I'm all homey and cozy.

[VOX]

10. I use a MouseRug -- like a mini-carpet, based upon a Navajo pattern

http://store1.yimg.com/I/mouserug_1757_15306730

It's a replica of a rug in the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles.

[jumptheshadow]

45. I'm a Mouse Rug person, too

I have the black and green one at home, bought the red one for my partner and office.

11. Mine says Austin Heart of Film Festival and Screenwriters Conference

[Fenris]

12. "Drawing Hands" by M.C. Escher

Had it since the mid 90s. Faded considerably, and is not terribly pleasing to the eye, but I have yet to find anything cooler.

[WilliamPitt]

13. Mine is an American flag. Right now it is upside down

and it's gonna stay that way for the forseeable future.

[sybylla]

14. Got it at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum - or whatever it's called

It's Einstein sticking his tongue out. Got it for my hubby but he didn't want to give up his matching Dilbert mouse and wrist pads given to him for father's day a couple of years ago. So now Einstein sticks his tongue out at me all day.

Shame, though. He's getting pretty dirty. Anyone know how to clean a cloth on rubber mouse pad?

[DCDemo]

15. Two (stacked) with an optical mouse

#1: Swiss flag...very nice.
#2: Cartoon/painting of a cat sitting on the morning paper with the owner glaring at the cat and the cat glaring back. If you have cats, you know how it is...

[Aristus]

16. Mine is raindrops on a dark metallic blue background.

Purty.

[kmla]

17. Mine has our company logo on it.

Got it free when I had my employee orientation.

Whee.

[5thGenDemocrat]

18. Black, says "Grateful Dead" in Maxfield Parrish-type script

And has dancing bears and stuff on it.

[LeinesRed]

19. Lighthouses of Wisconsin!

we've got some real purty ones here!

[BarbaRosa]

20. Margaritaville

A souvenir from my wife's trip to KW last year.



now where's that salt?

[chemenger]

21. Cheap trackball here at work,

Dilbert's "Technology Is Not For Wimps" at home. Back of a tablet also used at times.

[sexybomber]

22. I am pad-less.

My optical mouse just glides around on the faux-formica surface of the college-provided desk.

[goobergunch]

23. "Starry Night" by Van Gogh (n/t)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

24. Dropped the Mouse...

for a optical track ball with the ball by my thumb. I actually have this really cool Garfield mousepad that is bright yellow with daisies and garfield eating them. It says, "Remember to stop and eat the flowers along the way." I use it even though I don't need it. Anyway, I urge you to get one of these fabulous Optical trackballs. They're comfortable. I have a bit of carpal tunnel. It actually helps a bit.

25. fedex telling me how to get 10% off shipping

I don't buy mousepads, I liberate them. If I did buy one it would have nothing on it. Just black, or maybe Deep Red.

[SOteric]

26. Crimson Roses climbing a trellis.

[foxy]

27. My mouse pad is a picture of four puppies

fluffy golden puppies

[GregW]

28. Max Payne

NEW YORK. FUGITIVE UNDERCOVER COP. NOTHING TO LOSE.

[Spirochete]

29. It looks an awful lot...

like the top of a desk. (I'm using an optical mouse - there is no substitute)

[Deja Q]

30. Mine changes color when my mouse moves over the area

Attributed to my hot, sexy body heat of course. :D

[VelmaD]

31. Star Wars Episode 1

at least at work. It's really cool. It's a hologram thingy where when you move it it looks like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are fighting with Darth Maul. Very cool.

At home I have several. One with Dilbert. One that looks like a big bulls-eye. And one that has a picture of my nephew on it. :)

[Shanty Oilish]

32. Just found I don't need one.

The kid spilled something on hers and took mine. I stuck a piece of cardboard under the mouse, it works better than the pad did.
Just to answer your question thoroughly, there is a number embedded in puncture dots on the cardboard. 07 0184

[Skittles]

33. National Wildlife Federation wolf

beautiful

[Mr. McD]

34. It has a picure of my granddaughters ages 2 & 3.

[Shrek]

35. A fairly sparse mouse pad

[JanMichael]

36. Mine says, "geography-gis-sustaining our world".

I got it at an ESRI GIS training course in March.

It's colorful, black background with four boxes in the middle (blue, green, red, yellow), covered by an artsy line drawn globe that has Rorschach images of the East and West continants layed over it.

[patdem]

37. Roller ball mouse here...I guess i would have to declare cat hair

as my mouse pad, since the cats all gather at my desk. On top of the computer...(Sweetie Pie): at the open (now) window...(Monster.com): on the back of my chair (RompyStompy): and wherever there is an open spot (Zoe)...so yes..cat hair is my mouse pad...I don't know how the mouse feels about it...clean it every week...cat hairs you see!

[cmd]

38. It's green. n/t

[cally]

39. I have one that doubles as a notepad

I originally got one for free at a tech fair and I liked it so much that I buy them now. I can write notes on it and tear off the top sheet. Very useful.

[alfredo]

40. No mousepad, got a big Kensington trackball.

[0rganism]

41. 3M Precise Mousing Surface with Galactic Background & builtin wristrest!

It is truly the King of mousepads.

My other favorite mousepad is a cloth surface with a print of Munsch's "The Scream".

[DoNotRefill]

42. Prozac:

fluoxetine hydrochloride.

I saw it, and had to have it.
