Some thoughts on different pad thickness. Or, why would anyo
CSI can provide hard surface and dye sub pads
in 1/4″, 1/8″ and 1/16″ thicknesses. Historically,
most people have felt that a “thicker mouse pad
is a better mouse pad.” However, a mouse pad is
not a load bearing structure. The only difference
between a 1/4″ thick mouse pad and thinner
mouse pads is the thickness of the rubber backing.A mouse pad has three important characteristics:
1. It should not slide or damage the surface on
which it is placed.
2. It should work well (not skip or drag) with a
mouse.
3. The top surface should wear well.
None of these things is a function of the thickness of the rubber backing. So while the “perception” of the higher quality of thicker mouse
pads exists, there is “functionally,” no difference between thick or thinner mouse pads. So
why would anyone buy a 1/16″ mouse pad?
There are several reasons:
• They are less expensive to buy.
• They are much less expensive to ship. A
1/16″ pad literally weights about 25% of the
weight of the same size and type 1/4″ thick
mouse pad. That’s a 75% savings on shipping
costs. This huge freight savings is particularly
important to overseas customers where shipping costs are much higher than shipping
within the United States.
• Some users, including several of CSI’s artists,
actually prefer 1/16″ thick mouse pads
because the mouse can be run off and on the
pad without having to lift it up to clear the
edge of the pad.
• Other users think they are “neat” because
1/16″ pads are still rather rare.
