My mousepad is an A4 sized sheet of glass, originally intended as a cutting slate for in my kitchen.
It works, and doesn't wear out as much as other mousemats i've used, this one is 7 years old now.

Well, at home I use a Func Surface Archetype. Great mouse surface and very much worth the price. I've had it for several years though and it's starting to wear. However, currently I'm at work and I use some lame shiny dell P.O.S pad. It works........that's about all I can really say about it.

Are you using a bland white one? Maybe it's a wacky one, with fun colours for the whole family, maybe it's a creepy white mouse pad with a black text that says "I like it when you rub me.", or maybe it's a mouse pad referencing something from the internet.

You need to tell us what is, dear Escapians.

For me, the lovely mouse pad that I'm using is the one you receive for buying the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Collector's Edition.

Why would I have a mousepad? The world now uses laser mice which can track on any flat surface, thereby rendering the mousepad redundant.

Because it avoids getting crap on the mouse?

I used to use the mousepad I got free with Guild Wars, but I stopped using it before it wore down the image. I haven't seen the need to replace it as I use a laser mouse. I did have to use a mousepad at my last job, but that's because I stepped back in time 10 years to be reacquainted with my old enemy, the ball mouse.

No that wouldn't be it. Crud would get on the mouse whether or not you were using a mousepad, as the primary form of crud (human tissue and such) comes from the hand, which is constant contact with both the pad and the mouse whilst one is using their computer.

Honestly the only reason I think that pads still exist is for decal purposes, as technology has progressed enough that in some cases we don't even need mice to interact with our computers anymore.

StarCraft II.

Got it for free when I bought the game. I like it fine, it's better than my old worn mouse-pad.

Same one I got with my first pc something like 13 years ago. Taz the Tazmainian(sp?) devil.

Don't get much call to use it as I have a wireless lazer mouse, but if I ever need one its there.

When I use one (rarely), I have one with an Imperial Star Destroyer on it. Usually I just don't have any room to use it.

I don't... Seems unnecessary with my current mouse. Some kind of laser doo-dad, with a few buttons, could do with a couple more though.
