May I ask why the mouse pad makes a difference? I have a nice smooth desktop so I don't see the use.

forces you to go paperless since its no longer a writing surface.

I've been paperless for ages so if that's the only reason I'm ok haha

I thought my desk was smooth too untill I got a mousepad. It also keeps the little feet on the bottom of the mouse from getting worn out as quickly. The effort to start and stop the mouse seems trivial, until you see just how easy it can truly be with a mousepad.

It also helps keep crap from building up on the mouse skates since the soft mousepad is constantly "sweeping" the bottom of the mouse.
