Mouse Pad Gets Dirty Quickly
How do I solve the problem with my mouse pad getting dirty with dead skin and sweat? I usually purchase black cloth mouse pads.

Clean it on a regular basis or just leave it to crust

Just wash it with soap I've used bodywash you could try a fan next to your hand so it doesn't sweat as much

if you wash a mousepad it buckles and curls up.

Don't use a mouse pad? I've stopped using them ever since laser mice were a thing.

Get some alchol and a piece of paper.
Just start rubbing dirty surfaces of the mouse.

Not in my experience I leave it on a flat surface and its fine

You need to wait like 24 hours though.

I think alcohol and baking soda can do much better on cleaning plastics

I feel like I play better without a mousepad...

I've always found the ridge of a mousepad uncomfortable beneath my wrist. I kept running into/over the edge with the mouse. The area of my desk where my arm and mouse move are now polished to a smooth finish by constant use. And!, easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

For me, no mousepad is far more convenient than a mousepad.

Eh, due to certain circumstances you can get certain substances. Not uhhh not those that you're thinking about right now.
