Some of my colleagues might poke fun at me for this, mouse-on-desk heathens that they are, but I used to be a bit of an obsessive freak over mouse pads—they're important, okay? It's been a long time since I fanned that flame, so it was with an almost audible 'uh oh' that I looked upon the new SteelSeries QcK Performance mouse pads that landed at my doorstep.
And not just because they have a lingering rubber smell that tickles my fancy in just the same way that the smell of tyres, clean car interiors, and petrol does (though that is a benefit).
