I've never seen people get so excited over a mousepad :unsure:

People around here tend to experience a lot of classism when Apple releases a new product that happens to complement the design of other Apple products (logical), or when a partner company does the same. It can be an ugly weakness.

Aluminum mouse pad = FAIL

Mouse pads should be soft for both wrists and mouse. A $1 pad would probably be better than this.

It's stylish, yeah, but doesn't seem that good for what it is.

Correct me if I'm wrong but have you used this pad and if so what is wrong with it? It is the same thickness as a standard mouse pad. It is like being a Windows user and nocking a OS X but never used it so wait to bash it after my revue when I receive it :)

Calm down, we're talking mouse pads here, jeez :blink: . Leave the stupid OS wars out of it, OK?

I'll quote my self:

See the bold part? It's an opinion.

Based on what you ask? Aluminum is stiff, mouse pads aren't. It raises some concern to me about how your wrist is going to handle a day on that stiff surface. Also, is the mouse going to slide properly on that surface, will it last long?

I've never used an aluminum mouse pad before, hence my concern about its performance.

I would not be using it for hours at a time do to having a life :whistle: and some like it mainly for the look as well to compliment there system. But for long use probably not.

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...

Anti-Bacterial is not Anti-scratch

This pad sucks, I tried it. It's so fricken thick that I have to bend my wrists to use it. Also who the heck need a mouse pad when we're in the era of laser and optical mice? I only needed a mouse pad back in the 90's to provide enough traction on the mouse ball.

I can't believe some of you actual fell for the apple marketing gimmick and bought this mouse pad. The dumbest part of this is that the thing is made of ALUMINUM and it will scratch like crazy; there doesn't seem to be anti scratch coating. I bet you don't have anti-bacteria coating on your keyboard then what's the point of having anti-bacterial coating that will easily scratch off on your mouse?

Now Sillysam that you realized that you just wasted money, keep your anger to yourself, don't go using use neowinians as scapegoats for your poor spending.

I do. My laser mouse doesn't work on my white desk. It won't move at all.

Not sure if you know this or not, but it's not an Apple product. It's made by a completely different company.

People still use mousepads? My desk is my mousepad. I havnt used a mouse pad since optical mice became available.

I still use a mouse pad because I don't like having the bottom of my mice destroyed by a wooden desk.

I'm somewhat irritated by the fact that they spell 'pad' with 2 d's consistently throughout their website. >.>

I have an Allsop Redmond mousepad. It looks quite nice, and it's pretty large. And it's not just a slice of aluminium. My mousepad actually has tracker points so it helps in accuracy. This thing is just a piece of metal. I could take the side off one those cheap Alu tower cases and use that as an enourmouse (looool geddit? I'm doing those silly word things too now) pad.

i haven't used a mouse pad since i got an optical/laser mouse like 5 years ago...

I agree. Back in the days I actually hated using a mouse pad because of the "small" surface available. Now with my laser mouse I don't need those awful things anymore and still have precision.

Friction is still an issue. Especially now with cordless laser mice that require batteries. They're quite a bit heavier than their corded counterparts.

In fact, that's one of the reasons I switched to a G9 gaming mouse. Corded, but far lighter. Less friction, less effort to push around. I can really tell the difference. IMHO people with these heavier cordless mice would benefit from a good mousepad.

^^ I do, my desk is made out of glass a laser mouse will be useless without a mouse pad.

Yea, I can see that as a problem. but even then, I would probably tape some black paper to the underside of the desk and see how that works before going the mouse pad route.
