My Allsop Mouse Pad
January 8, 2008
Recently I bought a new ALLSOP mouse pad and it works great. My old mouse pad would slide across the keyboard tray but this one has a rubber grip pad on the bottom that works great. The new pad also has a decent amount of maneuver space which is important for graphic design and photography work.
