It just so happens that the table that my PowerMac is on, does not play nice with the pro mouse. That is, the mouse does not track well because of the pattern of the wood grain. It also so happens that every mouse pad that I've ever seen is dedsigned for mechanical mice, and for maximum traction / friction. Because the pro mouse has a contact surface that is large, it means that the pro mouse is hard to move around (does not slide well) on a traditional mouse pad. To make a long question short, where can I find a mouse pad that works well (mouse slides easily and tracks accurately) with the pro mouse?

Usually the cheap ones are good because they have a fake hard cover. The more expensive ones get soft and smoother which I think are meant more for trck balls. So go get a cheap one and look at the surface for a hard coated one.

I use the mailbag that my ADC mailings come in for my pro mouse. My brother uses a big piece of corrugated cardboard for his MS optical mouse that seems to work well. I am going to try to use a thin sheet of foam that you can get at the craft store. A stack of plain white paper out to work just tape the edges.

I've found that a 3M "Advanced Mousing Surface" works really well with a Logitech optical mouse.

The best solution I have found is to stick a sheet of white A4 (letter size) card to your defunct mousepad and cut around it so it matches the shape of the pad - rendering it useable again. This works with the Logitech opticals and the MS mice as well as the Pro Mouse. And you still get the squidginess-factor from the pad!!!!!
 yay!

I personally use my pro mouse on a smooth wooden table (there aint much grain) and it works fine. You could try a plain piece of paper, cheap and readily available.
If you get a mouse pad try and buy one that does not have a pattern or design on it because sometimes the mouse gets confused moving from one colour to another.
