Having a mouse pad is a must and has been for a very long time. Sure, you can technically use a mouse without one, but that can lead to damaging your device and the surface you use it on.

It covers your entire working space and is perfect for easily sliding your mouse for hours. Plus, you don’t have to use it on a desk. You can use it to make any flat surface a suitable working space.
