VL writes "If you're into LED mousepads, but one color isn't enough... how about one that has seven that you can choose from with a press of a button? " Gotta admit, it looks pretty nifty.

  2. Mouse Pad? by Numeric · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With optical mice why would anyone need a mouse pad? Back in the day with the old-style mice, I would occasionally move my mouse off the pad thus resulting my Rocket Launcher pointing in some odd direction. Once I switched to an optical mouse, that .99c IKEA mouse pad was thrown out the window.

      Well, I have a stonetable with a very rough surface (it isn't even nearly flat) that makes it impossible to use any kind of mouse without a very stiff mousepad.
      But even if you happen to have an ordinary table you will wear down those little teflon-pads underneath your mouse alot quicker if you do not use a pad.

  3. small mousing surface? by RevDobbs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The review said it has a small mousing surface, but that 'cons' were easy to get used to. BAH. Who wants to sacrafice usability for blinkenlights?

    If I wanted style of substance I'd buy a k-rad black & grey Compaq. Or Windows XP.

    what is annoying is that people love this junk. its junk! give you a 'kick' in life for about a month, and then after that it just becomes yet more trash in an already over-trashed lifestyle (computers).

    i know its gonna sound like a flame, but i find it ultra-decadent that anyone gives a shit about their mousepads having 'colors' when there are far, far more important things going on in life, which, with just .0000005% of the attention that goes towards this consumer rubbish, could be improved a great deal ...

    still. you have to give Romans their wine, or they go to war. oh, wait ...

  5. ooooh yes please by jacquesm · · Score: 2, Insightful

    After the 'furry mouse', the 'gel mousepad', the
    'arm rests in front of keyboard' and so on now the LED mousepad...

    Nonsense with blinking lights does very well judging by the sight of cars in the city at night (biggest consumers of blue leds), so this will probably be a hot seller :)

  6. Does anyone use a mousemat? by amembleton · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Cos I don't.

    Mousemats were needed with a ball mouse, but with an optical one you don't need one, and I actually find it easier without one. They're inexpensive too, mine cos 6 GBP (~$10) for a three button scroll wheel optical mouse.
