Rev Up Your Mouse Pad 7 of 16

Fine living is all about the details. If you're pushing a $25,000 mouse around, a freebie mouse pad from the local computer store just won't do.

Of course, you might wonder how much sophisticated software is needed to design a rectangle inside another rectangle, but it does sound good.) The pad is made out of polished carbon fiber, with an inlaid leather surface for the actual mousing area. And you don't have to worry about scuffing your desk: The back is made of Italian black suede.
