Money Saving Hack #3 – Cost Effective, General Purpose, Mouse Mat | Toxiic's Tips

[#1]

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

 Finding a decent mat for your mouse can be a bit of a nuisance, as I’ve found myself. Luckily, though, I’ve come across a handy, cheap little mat (which is technically a cutting mat) that you can use with a mouse.

Note, this item is currently £2.05 dispatched from and sold by Amazon. There are different sellers that may offer different prices that may be more or less than this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• An Amazon Account to buy from Amazon (very easy to do).
• A Prime membership OR At least £20 of items ‘Dispatched/Fulfilled By Amazon’ in your online basket (more on that below).

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO DO IT (with/without Prime)

1. Add a minimum of £20 of items into your Amazon basket (in the listing, these products have to say ‘Sold and Fulfilled by Amazon’ or ‘Sold by __ and fulfilled by Amazon’).
2. Add the item Silverline 438935 Cutting Mat A4 to your basket with the other qualifying items and proceed to checkout as normal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT TO REMEMBER

•  Current price: £2.05 (Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.)

That is a lot of effort for a mat.

[#3]

It is indeed. I think the main USP is that it can be used as more than a mouse mat as it's a strong surface to work on than normal mouse mats.

It's what I've found to be a good option for the cost but it won't suit everyone.

You can get ThinkPad keyboards with the mouse built in much better

True. This mouse mat is more for people who have s separate mouse and keyboard which seems to be the norm these days. @alexmccarthy1212

Good idea for those who want a mouse and keyboard in one, though.

Thanks for sharing. First I thought it would be a mouse trap (lol) but when I saw pic that was showing the actual mouse and mat.
Sorry.

Haha @pinkunykorn, yeah, mice (as in the non-living kind  ) are quite weird shapes.

I'm glad I captured it's aggressive side as it's precision is fantastic whilst using it. A great purchase - the mat, too.

This sounds like a good idea.
You can buy one from China for £1.65 including postage on ebay.
I might try one

[#10]

Haha @gvmhb might be worth a try.

At least you haven't lost much money if you don't like it.
