I've used a wide range of mousepads made out of a number of interesting materials, but they've all fallen short of my expectations. Some of the plastic gaming mousepads were great at first, but wore smooth after a few weeks of normal use. Cloth mousepads put too much strain on my wrist, and tend to track rather poorly with laser mice. On my test computers I don't use a mousepad at all -- I just let my mice roam free on the Formica countertop, and to be honest, it's not such a bad surface. I'm glad to report that I've found the perfect mousepad, though -- one that can withstand the rigors of heavy use in gaming and desktop publishing. Yes, the Icemat Second Edition is that good a mousepad.
