3 Things to Know About Mousepad Material and Tracking

Material affects friction, not grip A vertical mouse already changes your grip angle, so pad material won’t fix click feel. The real difference is how much the mouse slides.

Hard pads make you grip harder A slippery plastic pad can cause your mouse to drift during aggressive clicks. You may unconsciously squeeze tighter to compensate.

Cloth pads add stability High-friction cloth does the work of holding your mouse in place. If your mouse drifts, switch to a cloth pad. Otherwise, your current pad is fine.
