Wooden mousepad works great with wooden mice

What better to complement a wooden mouse (and wooden keyboard, for that matter) than a wooden mousepad? Nothing, that's what. This masterfully constructed jewel not only brings the tree to your workspace, but it's slightly angled for ergonomic pleasure and can likely be used upside-down in a pinch. Yeah, the $60.31 sticker makes this thing absurdly overpriced, but your wooden PC just wouldn't be complete without it.

I find a wooden desk tends to lend a far better surface for my mouse. Having said that, I hate that my mouse wears away its varnish and ultimately ruins the desk.

This is a good idea, only I wish it were a little larger.

Just get a new mouse! I highly recommend Razor mouses and Logitech mouses.

I took your suggestion Shinigami, and bought a new mouse. Much to my surprise, the mousepad did not get any bigger!

I'm not usually the environmentalist type - but these things kill trees! I sure hope they grow tree farms fast enough. They better not be cutting down rainforests!

Did you hear about the desk ?! I hear it's also made of wood

[Alex @ May 22nd 2008 1:16PM]

The desk that this very computer I'm typing on is on a plasticcy-coated type stuff.
7 years and 4 computers later, there isn't a worn away hole where the mouse is.
I reckon I can do without a mousemat now.

Having the pad at the edge of the table like that angers the God Ergonomica.

I will gladly sell anyone a piece of wood for $60 plus shipping.

So, you're saying you've got more than enough 'wood' to go around?

[fanthem @ May 22nd 2008 7:40PM]

Yes. He owns a small forest.

I've always had problems using optical mice on wood-veneer surfaces ... I wonder if actual wood would show the same issues. If that were the case, buyer beware!

[TGunz @ May 22nd 2008 10:05AM]

it is like rubbing 2 sticks together.

[pradera @ May 22nd 2008 10:12AM]

that last picture doesn't even make any sense... it's a wooden board lying on a wooden desk... those $60 banknotes stitched together would make a better mousepad.

Only WHO can prevent office fires?

You have selected you, referring to me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is you!

I read.

I weeped.

I lost some more faith in the future of mankind.

[Esat Dedezade @ May 22nd 2008 11:41AM]

*wept.

[Steffen Jobbs @ May 22nd 2008 10:26AM]

Oh, wow! This news is so exciting that I'm starting to get a woody.

[AlphaTeam @ May 22nd 2008 11:34AM]

If it can't beat the SteelSeries QcK heavy in size, I don't want it.

[Kyle Krafka @ May 22nd 2008 12:46PM]

I have the wooden keyboard/mouse mentioned in this article and while they look great, I never want to use them. The keyboard layout is terrible and the mouse just doesn't feel right.

[Magallanes @ May 22nd 2008 12:56PM]

$60????.. and (about the photo) using a cheap wooden?.

No way.

[phanbouy @ May 22nd 2008 1:21PM]

hey, Ma! check out how smooth this mouse pad is...OW! SPLINTER!

[Greg Baz @ May 22nd 2008 2:54PM]

Why not just use the wooden desk under the wooden mouse pad?

[Andrew @ May 22nd 2008 5:30PM]

They've been selling unvarnished wooden mousepads for years now. You can even customize the size for complainers. Go to a hardware store, ask them to cut you a piece of plywood, and it costs you 1/10th the price.
