Glass or cloth?

Glass generally gives a faster, low-friction glide and wipes clean. It may take some adjustment, can be noisy, shows dust and is rigid and breakable.

Cloth can offer more stopping control and cushioning and is easier to roll up for travel. Its feel varies from pad to pad.

Cleaning

• Lift away loose grit with a soft microfiber cloth.
• If needed, wipe gently with water and mild soap, then dry fully.
• Avoid abrasive materials, alcohol, bleach and acetone.
• Clean your mouse feet too, and never drag grit across the pad.

Mouse feet

• Use PTFE or UPE mouse skates. Avoid glass and ceramic feet, which may scratch the surface.
• Inspect skates for grit and wear, and replace them when worn. Glass can wear skates faster than cloth.

Sensor compatibility

Tracking on glass varies by mouse, so check your mouse manufacturer's sensor compatibility with glass before you buy.

Safe use

• Place the pad on a flat, stable surface.
• Avoid impacts and protect the edges during transport.
• Stop using the pad if it is chipped or cracked.
