Pad type
— Normal. Universal mats designed for general use: working with documents and office applications, web surfing, simple games, etc. They come in a wide variety of designs and materials and come in
small to
medium sizes.

Gaming. This category includes mainly high-end mousepads designed for gaming comfort and maximum cursor positioning accuracy. Note that their design and specialization can also be different: for example, models for shooters and action games usually have a smooth, slippery surface that allows the mouse to move as quickly as possible, while this is not so critical for other genres of games. Also note that mats of this type can be useful not only for gamers, but also for everyone who needs high accuracy — for example, designers or constructors. Gaming
mats can also include keyboard and mouse mats, such mats are long (in some cases even gigantic —
mats with a length of more than 90 cm), which allows you to place not only a mouse but also a keyboard on it. This category also includes
large rugs.
-
Wrist rest for mouse. Foam pads to support your wrist while using the mouse. Memory foam is able to take the anatomical shape of the hand under the influence of body weight in order to properly distribute pressure
...on the pressure zones. Wrist rests for the mouse relieve tension from the hands during prolonged work at the computer.
- Wrist rest for keyboard. Accessories for those who sit at the computer for hours on end. The keyboard wrist rests keep the user's hands in a natural position, preventing motion fatigue, radiation tunnel syndrome, and other joint problems. Such coasters are made in an oblong form factor, often they are filled with a gel with a memory effect. The filling takes the form of brushes, relieves hand fatigue and increases comfort during keyboard handling.Coating
The surface on which the mouse is used determines the speed of its movement and the accuracy of the positioning of the sensor.
—
Control. Rough texture coating for precise control of the position of the cursor or crosshair on the screen. Allows the mouse sensor to recognize the slightest movement of the manipulator relative to textures.
—
Speed. Smooth surface, adapted to the rapid movement of the pointer. Does not interfere with the sliding of the manipulator, allows you to move the cursor or rotate the camera relative to the character in the blink of an eye. The Speed coating is designed for high-sensitivity play.
–
Speed / Control. A variant that combines the advantages of the smooth Speed surface for better glide and the rough Control surface for precise cursor positioning. Typically, this type includes double-sided mats.
Waterproof
In this case, rugs are classified as
moisture -proof, which not only can tolerate moisture without any special consequences, but also quickly return to working condition. For example, a plastic or aluminium product can be simply wiped off; but the fabric is considered waterproof only if it has a high density and/or a special impregnation that prevents it from getting wet.
It is also worth noting that for many formally “waterproof” models, intense exposure to moisture is still undesirable: for example, an inexpensive plastic mat that is not wiped off in time can delaminate. And at the same time, on the contrary: many fabric models that are not moisture resistant can be washed and even washed without consequences (they will only dry for quite a long time).
