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.

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.
