NienorGT Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I just found this reading Gizmodo. http://www.macpadd.com/Home.html For $25 it's not that cheap but I think it may worth it. My only grip, is that it may be a bit too thick. Note: It's only shipped in USA and Canada Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/701508-macpadd-the-mousepad-for-a-mac-user/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titoist Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 not ergonomic at all just like most apple peripherals. I additionally cannot see someone using it for a long time due to blocked blood circulation in the wrists since its elevated from the desk surface.

Quillz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Wouldn't an aluminum mouse pad really scratch up the bottom of the Mighty Mouse, which is already extremely scratch-happy?

NienorGT Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Wouldn't an aluminum mouse pad really scratch up the bottom of the Mighty Mouse, which is already extremely scratch-happy? MacPadd has an antibacterial surface that can be easily cleaned. Great for offices or homes that have all kinds of fingers on the mouse padd. Use soap and water or antibacterial wipe (dry and use).I would tend to say that there a coating on the Alu. I doubt you are right on the Alu.Anyway, it's a mousepad designed for the Mac User, I HIGHLY doubt it wouldn't be built to scratch happily the scratch-happy Mighty Mouse...

Senseotech Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Back when I had a Mac Mini, I picked one of These up since it matched. Even though it doesn't match as well with the new iMac, I still keep use it because its actually the most comfortable one I've used, its got a curve on the edge so it doesn't hurt the wrist as bad as many.

PyX Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm wondering if it's too reflective for a laser mouse... And @Titoist : I kinda get what you mean, but it's not for nothing that you can adjust your chair ;) It's not that much of an issue IMO and yes I'm following ergonomy classes at the moment. The thing is, you'd have to have a thicker keyboard or make it higher and it would be perfect.

Sethos Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Ah yes, "zOMG aluminum, Apple rocks, ROUNDED EDGES WTFBBQ!" Apple could really sell a turd with an Apple badge.

roadgeek9 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Looks cool, but on my Mac (a G3 running Tiger :p), I use some Logitech mouse from 4 years ago, either way, I kind of find mousepads as a distraction.

LTD Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It looks nice and alu is always great. But seems more like a lot of hype for a cosmetic accessory than anything else. Not sure whether its height is a good thing, either.

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted November 30, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 30, 2008 Ah yes, "zOMG aluminum, Apple rocks, ROUNDED EDGES WTFBBQ!" Apple could really sell a turd with an Apple badge. Apple aren't the ones selling it? So not sure where you're coming from with that. But not keen on it at all. Aluminium isn't my first choice for mouse mat material.. I much prefer the really thin, material, large mouse mats. Bit of a haven for dust etc but much easier to work on.

Timan Veteran Posted December 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2008 Alot of people see this as an overpriced mouse pad. Take a look at some of the gaming mouse pads (steel pads). They're almost twice as much. These type of pads are awesome, your mouse just glides on the surface. Does get cold tho :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/701508-macpadd-the-mousepad-for-a-mac-user/#findComment-590206570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're almost twice as much. These type of pads are awesome, your mouse just glides on the surface. Does get cold tho :p In my PC days, I had a $40 mouse pad (Razer eXactMat). And yes, it was worth every dime. From the looks of the MacPadd... it looks like it'd be worth $25, and if it turns out to suck, so what it was only $25... no like it's going to break the bank.

mattmatik Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I think I'm going to get one of these. I've been looking for something to use with my mighty mouse that is durable and portable. This thing will fit in my laptop bag easily. Score!
