• Mousepad that won't shake under subwoofer load?
    3 replies, posted
This isn't really a technical question but I felt it would be better suited here than in H&S GD. My problem is this: I have my subwoofer right under my desk and on top of my desk I have my mousepad, which is one of those $3 "create your own using your own picture" mousepads that were posted on FP a few years ago. Now, when I play music at any significant volume, given that the subwoofer is maxed, it shakes the desk a little bit and that makes my cursor go mad if I lay my mouse on the mousepad. Right now, my solution is simply laying the mouse on the desk surface itself, which serves the purpose and eliminates the shaking but isn't as comfortable/precise as I'd like it to be. Are those "gaming" mousepads I see out there better suited for the task at hand? I'm not sure what exactly it is about this mousepad that causes it to vibrate the smallest amount, but I'd love if I could get rid of it. [B]Edit:[/B] And my mouse is a CM Storm Sentinel laser mouse.
Looks like you got one badass subwoofer. Anyways, try to glue the mousepad onto your table, that should fix it :P
The mousepad itself isn't moving, though. The mouse is kinda "floating" along the surface of it because it's soft and I guess the vibration cause the lasers to track a little bit of movement.
