coors Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question.. I need a gaming mouse pad. Well, not necessarily a "gaming" mouse pad.. So I play 99.9% of my games while sitting/propped up in my bed, like I am doing in this picture. I know it's not the best setup in the world.. but that's how I roll. Using the mouse on top of my sheets doesn't work well.. I need a mouse pad that would work for this situation. Anyone have an idea as to a cheap mouse pad that would work well for this situation? I need something that would work well on top of the sheets/stay in place on the sheets. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a suggestion. Take a book that is somewhat big and has a hard cover and place it on the bed where your mouse is. Next get a mousepad like this one: https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-QcK-Gaming-Mouse-Pad/dp/B000UEZ36W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1509901364&sr=8-5&keywords=gaming+mouse+pad&dpID=315kwa51AFL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch Place that mousepad on top of your book and you should be great to go.

Honestly, he probably wants something a bit lighter. I know when I sit in my bed, I tend to sink in it and I'd imagine the book will do the same. If the book is too close to him, it's going to slide into that sink that your butt is creating so you'll essentially see the book fall into that spot.

If you get a book that is heavy, it won't slide around on the bed. From what I remember, he plays FPS games and the book/mousepad will remain perfectly still while he is playing. Many books will do, but what's probably best is a heavy duty hardcover text book of some sort. Like this one, for example. That book will not slide around the bed because of it's weight. Also, the book is big enough to where once you put a mouse pad on top of it, you would have enough room to comfortably move the mouse while gaming.

Thanks for the info my man. I like the price on that mouse pad and I like that it’s an amazon product, I have prime and returns are so easy, in case it doesn’t work. Here is a question.. the only gaming mouse pad I have ever had, maybe 10 years ago.. it was a hard surface. It was a hard type of plastic. You linked me a cloth one. Is there a big different between cloth and hard? Or is it all just personal taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that exact same mouse. Very cheap and maybe the best mouse Ive ever had (although I am having some issues with the scrolling wheel). What kind of games do you play? Just curious, because I imagined it'd be hard to play anything too in depth with that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are even cheaper ones than that. Go with whatever you're most comfortable with. I have a $7 pad I got from Best Buy haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 I know they reference Target.com, but can you get those video game deals online? I really really do not want to go out during rush hour, if I can avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here...hoping someone goes crazy with a deal on one of the LG B7 or C7 tvs but I'm not very hopeful on that one (my budget is under $1000). Would settle for one of the Sony X900 series ones...that might happen since the 49 inch is barely over a grand anyway. If I can't get one of those I'll probably go for a Samsung MU9000 which will almost certainly be available for a decent price in a few black friday deals. 2 hours ago, showtime said: I know they reference Target.com, but can you get those video game deals online?

Not sure with target but even if not I'm sure both Wal-Mart and Amazon will probably have similar deals and wal-mart has made a serious effort to up their online game to try to compete with amazon so I'm sure most of their deals will be available online...I know Wal-Mart is also going to be offering free 2 day shipping on orders of $30 (I think it's $30 anyway...somewhere around there) in a further effort to compete with amazon.
