Temporary MOUSEMAT replacement

Go to solution Solved by Skiiwee29,

I use a card box for my HTPC setup. Any type of box surface will work just fine. 

 

EDIT: should add, make sure its non glossy. 

I've just washed my mouse mat (was getting quite dirty) and it's take sometime until it's completely dry. Any good alternatives for the next 24 hours? I wanna game casually and edit videos.

What about just using it on your desk? Any issues with the mouse sensor not working on the desk surface, like maybe a glass tabletop?

It's a glossy wood surface, too slippery
