    I wouldn't get a gel one! I have a gel one (well I did)... and it ripped open (the gel part).. then when ever I put my rist down, it would stick to all the nasty gel stuff inside.. it sucked

    Buy an optical mouse and get rid of a mouse mat, works a treat.

    I've got one of those gelly filled ones... I got mine just for the fun of it (I have a optical mouse). It was only $10, so why not.

    What exactly does a mouse pad have to do with your elbows...

    And it's wrist, not rist.

    I have a wireless optical mouse that I don't use a mouse mat for. I use one of the following
    My trousers
    My desk
    My wall
    My table
    The floor
    My sofa
    and sometimes a book or magazine

    I have an optical house but I still use a mousepad. I guess its just a habit of mine. Then again, the desk this computer is at has a sheet of particle board on top so its for the well-being of the mouse to have the mouse pad.

    i use a optical mouse like one of those 4 button ones with the scroll it is awesome but it is like version 1.0 so it is not very accurate on wood with all the grain and what not but other wise better then mice with the balls in them.

    Oh... I have the MS IntelliMouse Explorer. left, center, right click, scrool wheel and two customizable buttons on the side... It's really good when playing games and when browsing I have easy access to back/forward.

    My Logitech optical mouse (with scroll roller) doesn't use batteries, it's powered USB-style from the machine.

    Snazzy.



    (and I have a mouse pad just for the helluvit).
