I bought a huge gaming mouse pad and it rocks.

the xtrac ripper XL
my keyboard and printer are half on it too and there is still plenty of surface for my optical mouse which works perfectly on it. I’ll never slip off the edge of the pad and it will never migrate on my desktop. I’ll never go back to a dinky little mouse pad again.
Its easy to clean too

You can grab vintage and modern Apple mousepads at http://www.missingbite.com. The only other place you can get them is the company store at Infinite Loop. :)

I have a Ratpadz GS. It is 9×11 if I remember correctly, hard plastic, and cost me about 8 bucks. I love it. It is a “gamer surface” from a few years back that I bought earlier this year, and I like it except for the thickness is annoying for some people. If you get a gel wrist wrest to put with it, I can’t see any problems with it for anyone.

I use a 30″x20″ piece of chip board for my mouse pad. It doubles as a giant memo pad. When it gets filled with notes, I replace it.

I like the sUrface1030 from fUnc Industries. If you can get over the name of the mousemat (and the price), it’s a large mat that allows your mouse to glide.

I can’t work without my mouse pad. I found a really cool, grey circular one wtih darker grey circles on it at Ikea (of all places). It’s served me well.
The main reason that I can’t do without a mouse pad is simple because about 3 years ago, I looked at the mice my school had. Well, we had all optical mice and, of course, no mouse pads. So, I turn it upside down, and the little “pads” that the mice have was all torn up and dirty.
I honestly just don’t want that to happen to my mouse, so I just use a mouse pad to keep it from getting messed up.

Another recommendation for the fUnc sUrface 1030. I bought my first one about two years ago for my MX500 and I can't imagine ever going back to any of the other gaming/cad mousepads I've tried before. The smooth side is great for optical mice and it has a side for trackballs as well. It is plenty big, I never find myself using much more than about half of the surface area it provides. The mousecord clip is great, I used to get my cords stuck on the back of the desk but I don't have to worry about that anymore thanks to it.

I use a trackball, so I have no need for a mouse pad.
