3 Things to Know About Hard Mousepads on Glass Desks

Hard mousepads slide more on glass The smooth bottom of a hard mousepad has very little friction against a smooth glass surface, so it will shift around during use.

Textured wood grips better On textured wood, the grain and slight roughness grab the pad’s underside much better, keeping it in place.

Use a rubber or silicone base on glass If you’re using a glass desk, look for a mousepad with a rubber or silicone base. Otherwise, expect to nudge it back into position every few hours.
