A mousepad is a surface that is used for placing a computer mouse on, allowing it to effortlessly move in any direction. Having a mousepad can improve the performance of the mouse in comparison to a mouse placed directly on a table or desk. Mousepads are used in keyboard and mice setups by professionals, gamers, and students alike.
Mousepads are made with soft materials, such as rubber or vinyl, which allow for ease of movement and precision without any bumps along the way. Mousepads also ensure that your desk or table don’t get scratched when moving the mouse around. Many mousepads also offer a wrist rest which can increase ergonomics and comfort while working.
