Still using the lightly textured ceramic tile. It looks like leather grain, you can feel the light ripples. No wax, no paper, just the bare tile.

Fantastic, I’m using it right now (baking paper not wax), went and bought this GLAD Bake & Cooking paper:http://www.glad.com.au/gladProducts/foodDetails.asp?pId=1

Who needs Funcs, Manits, Exactmate, SnS. Screw all the money I spent on my uneven Func pad. Go try a parchment/baking paper pad now! Thanks author!

(using razer krait)

AH is right. For years I have been using a left-over bathroom floor tile, 10″ x 10″, slightly textured but smooth low skid surface. Sweat an dirt stick to the tile, not to the mouse teflon.

The best mousepad is a tile covered with tight and smooth aluminum foil. I found that bare marble tile doesn’t work very well…you need a tile with a very very very light texture to it.

Just stumbled upon this today. Picked up the creative labs HD 7600L for real cheap the other day on woot.com Being a college student I have limited funds (!!!) so I went to walsmart and got some Parchment paper, works amazing, not a single problem with tracking or crumpling

I googled my name and this came up, if you have sweaty hands, this doesn’t work, in the end I bot an xtrac ripper xl pad, it’s amazing and gives everyone who sees it hemorrhoids because of it’s awesomeness

Thanks for the trick of the wax paper Paul, I’m using it now with my G9 and working perfectly.

I may try the other suggestions I found on this site.

Nice topic.

Take care.

Thanks for the tip !

This isn’t really that feasible for FPS games per my experience. The paper gets wrinkled in a few places quite quickly and that leads to tears. It might have been the moisture from my hand as it tends to sweat kindof when playing FPS games, but I think with most people this would tend to happen quickly as well. Great idea- but just not practical for long use. It does have me thinking of other materials that would be better suited for FPS gaming sessions. Thanks for the idea!

or u can add a piece of thin cardboard and tape the wax paper to the cardboard and make it more sturdy

instead of using wax paper, you can also try printer paper…works as good…i suppose

I made a tiny one using the wax paper from a Kitkat, because I was too lazy to go out and buy some. But since I hardly move it more than a few inches in either direction, it works great!
