Mouse drags a bit ??????
If you find that your mouse drags a bit on the pad.......even after cleaning its little ball and rollers...........then rub a small amount of Vaseline on the mouse pad, and polish if off with a bit of paper towel or cloth. Mmmmmmmmm........nice shiny slippery surface again, especially for playing UT/UT2003 online, where the gunsight is all important..........

Wrong mousepad?
I read somewhere that a neoprene mouse pad was the worst kind to use. Is this true? What else is available for the standard wheel mouse?
