I’ve got a funny thing against mouse pads. I get that they are handy, necessary even, to effectively use a computer mouse. But I almost always dislike how they look. I’ve gone through many that have been seemed too garish, too plain, too thick and too big and I still haven’t found one I like. So this project is perfect for me because I can make one just the way I want it. And since it’s so easy, I can change it at the drop of a hat to suit a new mood or style at my desk.
