Are there mouse skates for using a mouse without a mousepad? (lemmy.ca)

I've had zero luck finding any info on this. Maybe my search skills are bad :/

What I'm looking for are mouse skates that create the feel of a mouse on a mouse pad. All the skates I'm seeing are for ultra low friction when used on a mouse pad. Basically, I want to get rid of the need for a mouse pad on my desk for aesthetic and practical reasons and am hoping that someone knows about a set of mouse skates that would facilitate this.

Yeah, if the resistance can be close to mousepad feel and the noise dampened then I'd be happy. It's not so much the smoothness of the mousepad that I'm after, rather the resistance. My desk without the pad has much less resistance than the pad does.

I think your best bet is going to be too take a piece of the new desk cover to a fabric store and rub it on different fabrics to find one that has the right resistance, then buy a piece and glue it to the bottom of the mouse.

Or you could try a trackball and avoid the whole issue completely. I've used one of these for years very happily.
