How-to build an air-cooled mouse pad
We've seen numerous air-cooled mice that keep your palms dry during extended frag sessions, but they usually don't come equipped with the "industrial-strength" components that gamers require in terms of precision and flexibility. Well instead of sacrificing function for comfort, why not build your own air-cooled mouse pad, so you can use your favorite gaming rodent and stay sweat-free at the same time? Hack-A-Day found a step-by-step guide on this exact mod over at Inventgeek, where they show you how to transform under $50 in supplies into a mouse pad fit for--dare we speak his name?--Fatal1ty himself. Basically the build boils down to using several types of adhesives to attach properly-shaped polyester (for the cover) and steel mesh (from a garbage can, for the mousing surface) cutouts to a $25 Antec laptop cooler, adding weight while it dries, and returning the next morning to a USB-powered 'pad. There must be tons of other pimped-out mouse pads out there- what's the best one you've spotted?
