3 Things to Know About Heavy Mice and Squishy Mousepads

Heavy mice compress soft foam pads unevenly A mouse over 80-100g can sink into plush or gel memory foam pads, tilting the sensor and causing jittery cursor movement or missed swipes.

Lighter mice under 80g usually work fine They skate on top without digging in, so the problem is mostly with heavier gaming mice or those with added weights.

Choose a stiffer pad for accuracy A thin desk pad or stiff neoprene mat provides both comfort and precision. Save plush pads for your wrist rest, not your mouse.
