Mouse pads are long-lasting gifts. With everyday use, a mouse pad typically lasts 5 to 10 years before it needs to be replaced, and this is true whether you are a gamer, casual user, designer, or office user. The mousepad sits there right under the wrist all day. What other product in this industry has this long of a lifespan? What better branding opportunity can you get?
All mouse pads have a soft, grippy rubber bottom, so they do not move around when we use them, but did you know that the top of the mouse pad can vary drastically? Your options include the run-of-the-mill soft fabric, precision weave material, plastic upper, or a premium metal upper like aluminum.
