Best mouse pad ever--no charge.
If you still have a "ball" mouse and are tired of cleaning it, just
throw out your mouse pad and use a large, old, cloth-bound book. It will stay where you put it, and the old linen cover won't produce lint. I stumbled across this idea out of frustration, and my mouse has worked flawlessly ever since. Clean your mouse ball and rollers first, of course. Use isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip or toothpick to get the junk off the interior rollers. Never underestimate low high-tech! |

mouse works well. randy "aha" wrote in message om... If you still have a "ball" mouse and are tired of cleaning it, just throw out your mouse pad and use a large, old, cloth-bound book.

I have a plastic laminate pad that has a fabric-textured look and feel, but
it also has some shine. This didn't work well with my newer optical mouse.

or, you could take the cover off the book and its profile would be lower
than a lot of the high tech pads out there. again, never underestimate low-tech. "jeffc" wrote in message . com... "aha" wrote in message om...
