mousepad

A pad over which you can move a mouse. Mousepads provide more traction than smooth surfaces such as glass and wood, so they make it easier to move a mouse accurately.

For mechanical mice, mousepads are optional. Optical mice, however, require special mousepads that have grids drawn on them.
