So I’d just like to post and remind everybody that duct tape really does fix everything. I’ve been having issues with my mousepad, for a long time now, which shouldn’t be surprising since my mousepad is a piece of cardboard I cut out of the box my monitor came in, last September. The glossy side is the only side that works, since my mouse (a laser mouse) doesn’t get a clear reflection or whatever from a normal piece of cardboard. So this glossy side has been used ever since I set up this comp in my dorm room, and it has become pretty warn, with scratches, dirt, and other things which make my mouse go in directions I didn’t want it to go. So I’ve been trying to find a replacement ever since it got really bad this January. Pieces of paper don’t work, an neither do various other pieces of crap I’ve thrown on the desk.
So today I decided to coat the entire glossy side of my cardboard mousepad in duct tape.
Turns out it works. Perfectly.
Duct tape saves the day. Again.
