Why Silicone Mousepad Bases Work Best on Glass Desks

Foam bases slip on glass Foam relies on friction, but glass is too smooth for grip. Even moderate mouse movement will slide the pad around.

Silicone may leave faint residue over time In heat or direct sun, some silicone pads can leave a mark that wipes off easily. It’s minor but worth knowing if you want a perfectly clean desk.
