Potter Mousepad
27-Jun-06
For 99 cents I couldn’t resist this Harry Potter mousepad. It turned out to suck as is for my optical mouse. It couldn’t read the surface accurately. But the wrist pad smoothly drifts over its plastic base on bearings, letting you accurately move the mouse using your arm muscles alone. I cut it out and placed it over the wood surface I normally use for my mouse. Nice, but not sure what to do with the rest of it.
