An even cheaper and possibly better mouse pad is the material used to cover drafting boards. It only costs $0.013 per square inch ($20 per yard by 42 in.) compared with $0.05 for Nylon I. I bought it at a local art supply store. Unfortunately I can't give you a fancy name for it as the sales clerk didn't even know what it was called! It is rubbery, smooth, firm, green on one side, white on the other, and about a 1/16th of an inch thick. I bought enough to cover my whole desk for $13.50. Now I have an excellent writing surface as well as a safe place for my mouse to run around... (They claim it is also self-heal- ing, what ever they mean by that.)
