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

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.

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...

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.

Just orderd mine, looks like top quality well worth the $ :)

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.

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.

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

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.

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.
    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
