Wow, I got the most amazing mouse pad today and it is only $15. It is an Allsop Metal Art Mousepad. It is a textured charcoal-colored (Teflon?) mouse pad on a heavy steel base with non-skid rubber on the bottom. If you ever have trouble with your mouse then definitely buy one of these. The surface is sticky for a mechanical mouse and textured for an optical mouse. I'm truly impressed.

I also got a Kensington PilotMouse Optical 3-button to replace an ailing IBM optical mouse. I really would have preferred the 5-button version but I'll take what I can get. It seems pretty nice but I think I'll miss having a thumb button.
