Flatten a mousepad.

[Typsylol]

Best way to flatten out my mousepad?

[Morkonan]

What is it made of?

Warm it up on a heating pad, take it off the pad, put it on a flat surface, flatten it out and cover it with a small towel, and stack some hefty flat books on it. Let it sit there for an hour or so and you're done.

My mousepads get mangled all the time after sitting scrunched-up in my laptop bag. You could use a clothing iron with a towel between it and the pad to help warm it up, but I don't trust you... So, use a heating pad and just lay it on top of the mousepad to warm it up, instead. :)

I just came to say a heating pad, and got beat to it. I use one for mine, but I keep it on low, and put some books on top of it for an hour or so. They come out flat as can be.

But Mork's method works great as well.

Wait for a sale on the "Razer Goliathus Speed Edition" mousepad, it's quite worth it with a slick and seamless surface and weaved edges, which don't raise up.

Fixing a mouse pad is hard, but can be done with using a cloth over the top then iron on medium to low heat. Stack books or something flat and heavy on top afterwards, leaving it for a few hours while it cools back down. It's normally due to the heat and sweat from your palm which causes a mouse pad edge to raise, so you are attempting to reverse that process. Recreating a perfectly flat surface however sometimes doesn't work.

Who uses mouse pads these days? It's either the desk surface or a matte magazine for me.

I use my keyboard tray with out a mouse pad the only thing that happens is the teflon feet wear the finish off the keyboard tray. Mouse pads add way to much friction to the mouse.

I sit on my couch. The mouse is on the seat cushion next to me. I need a stiff pad.

That's ridiculous. I use a poopsock.

If you got one of those anime waifu mouse pads with the bumps where the booba is, they are there to stay my dude.

Very lightly Iron it out if it isn't a decorated/fancy mousepad.
I think using a cloth as a cover for it would be a wise idea like the others have suggested.

Is it a new mouse pad? Place it on a flat surface and put a few books on it. It will learn to stay flat.

If it is one of those long ones, then place it and put your stuff on it. It will flatten as it is being used.

I have a Teflon-Coated mousepad that says differently.

They're flexible (The aluminum/steel ones are not, of course.) and much like any mouse-pad, except they're very slick. :) One durability issue is that they can get dented if enough force is applied, like something sharp and heavy laying on them.

Another issue is that some very high resolution mice could have tracking issues. It depends on the sensor and the pad's design, though.

Mice today can handle any surface basically.

Why use a mouse pad at all?
