				I stand corrected, I just haven't seen them for a long time, so maybe that's an opportunity for @dfox. devRant mousemats! I'd probably start using one again.

				Yes, @dfox please have a mouse pad in the devRant store for the holidays this year - or sooner 😀

				@Heatstreak Don't gamers use both special mice, pads and keyboards. As well as everything else? :)
