you can use microfiber and wrap it around a hard plastic sheet so it doesn't crumple

Specifically those optical cleaning cloths used to clean eyewear.

Would it make sense to take just the fabric from a pad I have to a fabric store and see if I can find something similar?

Sure, I don't see why not. :) I see mouse pads to be heavily marketed with silly "technologies" and "features" so you can probably easily make one yourself.

Approx. 3 feet by 8 feet, possibly smaller, but that would cover my desk, I LAN a lot so it would be for up to 3 people.

 

make sure it can be cleaned easily

 

just imagine the oil, crumbs, and critters that'll live on the pad after gaming
