Buying a new mouse pad

Looking for suggestions on a new mouse pad.
The one I have has been around for some time lasted through 3 mx1000s but has a bad spot now.
The following are the ones I have been looking at.

All decent. I would go with the $15 one because I am cheap.

Are there any that are shaped more triangularly? I get really tired of trying to use 4 contact points on an uneven surface. Maybe I just need to make one myself & send it to be anodized with parts from work. It would certainly be better than not using one at all, as I do now.

lol

If I can't open a package & have a 3-point mouse pad fall out, I'll just make one at work. Heck, if adequately motivated, I could CNC engrave "Paco Bedejo" in one of the corners Razz

Paco all the ones iam looking at or considering are flat on the backside with some kind of no slip surface. With this kind of design I never had an issue with mouse pad on uneven surfaces. I rember yours having standoffs / feet on the bottom I will stay away from that style.

I'm with LordGigabyte, I haven't used a mouse pad in years other than the rare occasion I need a sheet if paper because ky mouse doesn't like certain folding tables. I also use an old MS 5-button optical mouse.

I also have a QPAD:

Works just fine, very nice surface and comfortable if you're resting any part of your hand on it.

I use whatever cloth surface mousepad I can manage to get for free. Ask Wes at LanOC.

After using this one, I'll never use cloth top again. They're so "sticky" compared to a hard plastic surface.
