metal mouse pad?

ok so I like to play WoW and some other games on my laptop in my living room on the floor while watching TV. Problem is mouse pad on carpet no work because it flexes and oves...so I gotta get a big hard cover book out..which is a hassle and it blocks my exhaust (yes it's on the right side, stupid design)....so I was thinking of one of those metal mouse pads that I could just stick on the carpet by itelf and it wouldn't flex or move....anyone use these and can say if that would be true? also any recommended ones?

Well don't know if this will help... but there is a thread currently going on in the "Games" section about mousepads.

You familiar with those tablets of papper? the ones with the cardboard back? yeah, take the back, flip over, use as mouse pad....

Now if you wana get more advanced... i suppose powdercoating a half inch steel plate would work too... if you get that to flex, please send me a PM, and ill get you in contact with some engeeniering folks i know.


But im moral opposed to buying a mousepad for an optical mouse... just lazzy i guess.

I hear if you cut the bottom off a teflon cooking pan it works as a great mousepad

Along the same vein a $1 recycled fiberboard clipboard makes a SUPERB mousepad.
