A hard Mousepad provides you with a special surface designed specifically for the optical mouse, rather than just using your desk.

The aluminum Mousepad is the first choice for performance tasks.

They are usually made of three aluminum plates approximately 0.06 inches thick and then glued together. The aluminum Mousepad is very smooth, providing a frictionless environment for your mouse. It also supports high dpi optical tracking.

Plastic Mousepad is another option. They are cheaper than aluminum Mousepad, but they are an upgrade compared with ordinary cloth Mousepad.

These typically include a layer of anti slip plastic and a layer of anti slip materials on top.

For a more beautiful hard Mousepad, resin is considered the best choice. These all have the lowest level of friction, and they have various customized designs.

Harder materials do not keep warm, and some people may not be able to tolerate cold surfaces

The hard Mousepad cannot be rolled up, reducing its portability

Mousepad with a gel wrist guard, or a high-end aluminum Mousepad with a gel
