Title: my snobby mousepad, I guess.

It turns out that the wrist rest (http://geekhack.org/showpost.php?p=104539&postcount=461) I added, which extends the entire length of the keyboard tray on my desk, makes it uncomfortable to use the mouse.

To re-elevate the mouse I made this thick mousepad that I'd rather call a "mouse elevator."

The polypropylene is translucent enough to allow for occasional artwork/photo festivity :playball:

I assume it doesn't work for an optical mouse but it works fine for my laser mouse; it now sits ½" higher, which is just short of the wrist rest, but it's all good.

Effectively, the keyboard is now sunk in the tray, after I either adjust my chair upwards, or quit slouching as much.

Very cool. The rubber feet look very nice. The only ones I could ever find locally are not really of good quality and I would probably need like six of them at least.
