Thicker mousepads vs thinner mousepads: Thin pads win for lightweight mice with low LOD

Thicker pads (like 5mm) compress unevenly under lightweight mice, causing sensor distance changes that mess with tracking. Stick with 2mm or 3mm cloth pads for consistent performance—hard pads work even better but feel different. Thick pads are only useful for heavier mice or wrist cushioning at the cost of precision.
