For people who like to play games and pursue hand speed, a mouse pad is a must. For them, without the mouse pad, the mobility and sensitivity of the mouse will affect their playing games.
A mouse pad is unnecessary for people who use desktop computers. There are many substitutes without mouse pad, such as a book, a pile of paper and so on, which can be used as mouse pad. In addition, if the desktop of their desk is opaque and rough, the computer desk can replace the mouse pad.
There will be an electronic reading room and a computer classroom in the university, so the computers in the electronic reading room and computer classroom will not be equipped with mouse pads. First, the mouse pad is difficult to manage, easy to get dirty and difficult to clean. Second, the rough and opaque computer desk can completely replace the mouse pad.
Finally, the notebook computer has a palm rest, which is an excellent place to put the mouse. Does not affect the use of the mouse, does not occupy other space, and is very convenient. Personally, I use a notebook computer, and I always use a palm rest instead of a mouse pad, which is very comfortable.
