Do rough mousepads help with honeycomb mice?

Yes, usually. Lightweight honeycomb mice are often slick plastic, so a rough surface adds grip to prevent overshooting. Use a cloth pad with woven texture like an Artisan Hien or LGG Saturn—avoid hard “speed” pads that shred PTFE feet. It’s a solid upgrade for twitchy FPS games, but not if you prefer gliding.
