3 Ways to Stop a Non-Slip Mousepad From Slipping on Textured Wood

Use a thin desk pad underneath A desk pad grips the textured wood surface, and the mousepad grips the desk pad, creating a stable base.

Place a damp microfiber cloth under the pad The cloth adds enough friction to hold the pad in place without leaving permanent residue.

Avoid double-sided tape unless you don’t mind residue Tape works but will leave a sticky mess when removed. Sanding the desk smooth is not recommended.
