ouu, that inspires me...what can you make a mousepad if you can't afford or can't be bothered to buy a new one! i don't even have one... just a plastic desk top!

i do use a gelmouspad revenge, cost me £10, but seriously, i have used my computer desk as a mouse it work' but occasionally jolt's or just doesn't recieve the mouse movement

ebay!! i picked up a cheap gel mousemat up for about 3 pounds. didnt like it so back to the old one. im sure you can pick up a very cheap laser optical jobby on the internet.

oh and i just looked under my mouse because of that picture and it actually says optical on it! how silly am i, asking what an optical mouse was earlier

Back in the UK i use a regular gel mousepad which was brought very cheap and is good quality (and has lasted over a year and it still looks good as new!).

Over here, it seemed to have vanished into thin air but my wooden desktop serves as a fine surface. So there really isn't any need to buy one at this stage. The only thing im worried about is the surface being scratched but it seems ok so far!

i use my leather A4 diary as a mouse pad lol

Oh dear!

It appears my mouse has completely died. Looks like i will have to buy a forth one!

Now i have to make do with browsing about using my keyboard.

Awwwwww man

Mines rubbish

At least it works i guess, ill have to get myself a new one sometime. I can still do pretty much anything accept moderate chat rooms as i can't open pms myself, or change room, or play a game.

i've just plugged my mac keyboard and mouse into my pc, all wires and all working lovely

Now ive just gone and got another mouse and this is to slow, how do i speed it up? Ive tryed putting it to full on pointer options and its still slow!

Anybody know?

Is it just cause its new?

Is it just me or does it tap it sometimes even if u hit it the amount you wont it to?

Or the ball dont go the way you aim?

lol how is that possible?

must be your eyes!

I doubt it, why would i say it for nothing? It like slips!

<confused>

it def taps. thats when the 'lag' has caused the game to not pick up on your mouse movement and you hardly hit it. very annoying.....

Right getting very annoyed now.

What sort of mouse does everybody have?

Microsoft, Mercury, Logitec.....Examples?

Do they work well?

You'll love this and it's no word of a lie.

Mouse: logitech notebook optical (small)

Pad:
I got the old felt of a snooker table which was recovered in the local club. Cut it and stapled it to the table..

beat that!!!

Oh and the mouse works perfectly. I got it solely with funky-games in mind, it's small and reliable.
I'll find a link!

I don't really like the small ones, but ill have a look.
