I use a MacBook Pro at home and a Windows laptop at work. The trackpad on the Windows laptop is flaky, so I prefer to use it with an external mouse.

However, my desk at home is kind of glossy/reflective, so if I’m working at home on the Windows laptop and trying to use the mouse, it doesn’t work well at all.

Since I don’t actually have a mousepad (I only ever use the trackpad on the MacBook Pro), I started looking around the house for something I could use instead that would make the mouse work better. I needed something large, rectangular, non-reflective, heavy enough that it wouldn’t slide around the desk as I moved the mouse...

    Tape a sheet of paper to your desk, or enjoy your ultimate luxury. 🤣

    @starless Yeah I used that for about 3 years. But the mouse usually colors the paper a little black. But the pro is that you can write on the table without actually writing on it which is super cool imo.

    Now I have got a 1m^2 mousepad that actually is too big for my table but who cares.
