I have a wood glossy white desk. Do I need a mouse pad or is it fine without?

It works fine without but I want to know if I am missing anything

If you want accurate taking for gaming or a better mouse feel you should get one. Also your mouse feet will probably wear down pretty quick without a pad.

Alright, is this a good one to buy? I'm not sure what I'm looking for

The main reasons to consider a mousepad are:

- different feeling (if you don't like the feeling of the desk surface)

- usually your mouse feet wear out slower

- similar story for the desk surface, you might get scratches when mousing over if

A cloth pad gives best controll and your mouse feet will last way longer.
