WOW!PAD

A mouse pad built for developers.

It looks like it's built straight into the desk.

THE ONE SURFACE YOU NEVER UPGRADED

You bought the keyboard. The mouse. The chair. The monitors.

This is the missing piece of your setup.

An IDE, a browser, three terminals and Slack. Eight to ten hours. Thousands of tiny mouse movements a day, every one of them landing on a surface you probably got for free.

RESISTANCE

Up to 80% less mouse resistance.

The top surface is textured into thousands of hills and valleys, so your mouse’s glide feet only ever touch about 20% of it.

Up to 80% less drag — static and dynamic. Less effort to start a movement, and less resistance the whole way through it.

  • 20%of the surface your mouse actually touches
  • Up to 80%less drag than a standard surface
  • Thousandsof movements a day, every one of them easier

Screen to screen, with no resistance from the pad at all.

0.46 mm

Half the thickness of a credit card.

Thinner than a credit card and designed to sit flush with your desk for all-day wrist comfort.

There’s no lip to lift your wrist over and no on-pad/off-pad transition to cross. Your wrist stays flat where the desk already put it — 0.46 mm is not a source of wrist extension.

Designed for more wrist comfort during long coding sessions. It helps with carpal tunnel and wrist issues, and with the shoulder strain that comes from thousands of movements a day.

Wet the back. Press it down. It doesn’t move. No adhesive — it lifts clean when you want it somewhere else.

DURABILITY

Buy once, use for years.

Your cloth pad deteriorates. It gets muggy and dirty, and eventually you replace it with the same thing again.

The artwork on this one is printed on the back of the sheet, so there’s no ink on the surface for your hand or your mouse to wear away. Nothing fades, nothing peels, nothing scuffs off where your palm sits.

When it needs cleaning: wipe, rinse, disinfect, done. Hot water does it. Soap, glass cleaner and disinfectants don’t touch the surface. It comes back completely clean.

Antibacterial material, so a desk you keep clean stays clean.

PORTABILITY

One for your desk. One for your bag.

Every order is a two-pack: the large desk pad, and a small round pad thin enough to slide into a folder.

Desk at home. Coffee shop. Hot desk on site. You get the same surface in all three, and you never get caught without a pad again.

  • The desk pad — 32 × 12″. Large, flush, permanent.
  • The travel pad — round, folder-thin, goes everywhere.

SINCE 1997

Nearly three decades of the same surface.

  • 1997patent filed
  • 1999Apple-branded pads in production
  • 30,000×magnification at which this surface is still smooth

Microthin was making mouse pads for Apple as far back as 1999 — in the old iMac colors. The underlying technology was patented in the United States: filed 1997, granted 1999.

The pad was engineered for trackballs. It turned out to be the better surface for every optical and laser mouse that came after.

Mouse pad technology proven over decades, and trusted through generations of computing.
