Modern technology is not only pioneering new products but they are improving features and designs on existing products. Mouse pads have been around since the late 1960’s and have a basic but essential function: to provide traction for a mouse ball or sensor to move.  Mouse pad technology has not had many major leaps in terms of design throughout the years despite the immense growth in computer technology. The mouse pad may seem like a dull tool in an otherwise revolutionary and exciting computer tech age, but new models and designs hope to change the view of mouse pads both as computer tools and promotional products. Here are some of the newest designs that hope to reenergize the mouse pad industry.

Round Mouse Pad with Calculator – This customizable mouse pad is made of hard plastic material with custom color coating. It comes in, black, gray, blue or red and has an imprint area that is 3.5 inches in width and 2.5 inches in height. Though these customizable mouse pads have modern designs features, the most outstanding is its embedded calculator tool that displays a screen with large touch pad. These customizable mouse pads are great promotional gifts for businesses and a favorite for certain types of professionals like accountants.

Round Leatherette Mouse Pads – These mouse pads may not have all the gadgets and gizmos other high tech promotional products have, but their simple designs and revolutionary wrist cushion makes this a highly sought-after mouse pad. These mouse pads are made of smooth and aesthetically pleasing leatherette material and have fine stitching and look great with custom printed logos. Their wrist cushion is a simple half sphere design that minimizes space need on the mouse pad and allows people to move their wrist freely on the mouse pad. This may seem like a minor convenience, but after using it the usefulness of these cushions become much more evident.

These mouse pads have state-of-the-art calculators and are made of fine leatherette material. The material is black leatherette and is put together with quality stitch work.

The calculator is embedded into the top of the mouse pad and comes with a display screen, full button pad and unique ruler tools on the top and bottom of the calculator.
