The mousepads came into the market since the 1970s but were not given much importance until late 90s. The mousepads were given importance as the traditional ball mice were replaced by the optical mice, but mouse pads were in use before that because of the basic reason to prevent debris and dirt coming into the ball-operated mouse. By the end of the year 2000, the mousepads were extensively used everywhere, and ultimately the manufacturers and researchers dedicated their efforts to develop more user-friendly and effective mouse pads around the world. As a result, manufacturers were able to produce numerous advanced varieties and more effective mouse pad with wrist rest which served various purposes of the users.
Around 2001, the manufacturers, as well as computer users, realised that a good mouse pad can contribute to speeding functioning of the mouse along with the comfortable movement of the mouse on the pads. Nowadays, the mousepads are made out of several types of materials which are user-friendly, and many mouse pads enhance the efficiency and workability of mice up to 5% more. One of the most remarkable developments in the contemporary mousepads is the addition of wrist rest to the mousepads.
If you do not work on the computer consistently for hours, you will not understand why mouse pads with wrist rest are extremely important. As per general health risks of using computer consistently include eye strain due to electromagnetic radiation from the screen, waste pain if not positioned appropriately, and wrist strain due to carpal tunnel syndrome. The mousepads with wrist rest are made out of gel-type substances effectively prevent wrists strains caused due to carpal tunnel syndrome and give you perfect protection when working with the computer consistently for long hours.
Mousepads are generally made out of 4 types of materials, namely cloth, aluminium, plastic and glass. Each of the types of mousepads made out of these 4 materials has their own benefits and disadvantages. The mouse pads that are made out of cloth are affordable or cheaper, comfortable and portable whereas mouse pads that are made out of plastic are easy to clean and feel smoother to use. On the other hand, the mouse pads that are made out of glass and aluminium are more efficient and smoother to use but are expensive in comparison to cloth and plastic mousepads. As far as designs of mousepads are concerned, there are so numerous types that you can every day find a new and different design of mousepads with different shapes, geometrics as well as dimensions to choose the best that suits your purpose.
