Mouse pads are very useful and most people still utilize them even if they have laser computer mouses that don't need mouse pads. But in case you own an optical mouse, the mouse pad is very good for you because it offers an appropriate environment to work on, especially if your desk is made of polished wood which is known to be a difficult surface for tracking for these optical mouses, as the optical beams sent by them are reflected by this shiny surface.



Well, some people working for the companies that manufacture the mouse pads had a brilliant idea to offer still another function to this already useful thing that is the mouse pad: they invented the calculator mouse pad. The calculator is incorporated in the mouse pad and situated most of the times in its front part, but you can also find some calculator mouse pads having the calculator on the right , on the left or even such a strange one with the digit buttons IN the mouse pad. I mean they are drawn on the surface of the mouse pad and operated digitally. You can switch the function of calculator in the mouse pad function by using a button on the side.



Now, talking about these two calculator mouse pads, they are really nice as design and colour, matching most computers nowadays with their metallic gray and black colour. They have a very comfortable wrist rest for a more ergonomic design and also the very useful calculator, with all the number buttons, operation buttons and an eight digit display.

All the buttons are made of synthetic rubber in order to avoid the noise made by using the calculator and also to allow a very comfortable use. The calculator does not need any batteries, as it works with energy from the USB cable also used to connect the mouse pad to your computer. You can turn the calculator on or off, depending on your purpose. If you don't need it, just turn it off and save some energy and turn it on the next time you need it.

There are three memory buttons that you can use, allowing you to memorize certain sums or numbers you will need in the future without having to type them again. You can perform all the basic mathematical operations on this calculator and you can do this really fast, without having to open the calculator on your computer or even search for a normal calculator around the house or office.



The calculator mouse pad has a double function and combines very well the utility of being used as support for the mouse and also offers the possibility to use it as a very handy calculator. If you don't need it all the time, it's ok, but you will find it really useful when you need it. There are more companies producing this kind of mouse pad, but, as you can see from the pictures, the Chinese companies are the most specialized ones. You can access their web sites if you are interested and you can order some calculator mouse pads if you want to and if your order is big enough you will also benefit from a consistent discount. Never mind the shipping, as the means of transport are really fast nowadays and these companies also have a lot of subsidiaries spread all over the world.
