Lazer mice and mouse pads

I just bought a new Logitech Lazer mouse. Would a mouse pad add any improvement over the top of my desk. or not? I have no problems with just using it on the bare desktop, but was just wondering. And if so, what is a good pad that doesn't cost too much? Have limited funds.

I generally use my desktop, except when I am at the desk that has my cool Maxtill glass pad. But, some black desks/tables just don't seem to work well with laser/optical mice.

If you are comfortable without a pad, save the money! Or maybe spend the money on a wrist rest... Grin

I have one of the original Ratz Padz that OCZstore gave away to their "prefered" customers 7-8 years ago. Still using it to this day..

Never ever a problem with optical mouses.

One thing that optical mouses dont like, its multi colored or textured surfaces. Keep it one color, with same texture over the entire surface.

I use an icemat frosted glass pad and I love it, but If your looking for something cheap it might not be your best option. Doesn't help that if you order from their main site you have to pay for shipping from Denmark. Crazy

I do own an old Everglide, (white) that I could use, but wish it were bigger.
