By the start of 2016 I figured it was probably about time to invest in a new mousemat, as my original from 1999/2000 was starting to look a bit grotty + the rubber/neoprene stuff it was made of was starting to come to bits.
After poking around on a well known popular online mail order shopping emporium, I opted for the Fellowes Crystals Gel Mouse Mat with Wrist Support thing in black, and ordered it at the end of January.
It still appears to be available for around a tenner.
Earlier on this morning I was playing CS:GO (as I often do), and discovered it had developed a slight technical problem.
It had sprung a leak, and covered my right wrist with ‘orrible gloopy memo gel stuff that was an absolute tw*t to get off (took 3 or 4 attempts to get rid of it).
I attempted to make a “redneck repair job” on it, which turned out to not really make much difference after an hour of testing it out, and having to wash my hands again before I could upload the video at the bottom of the page and write this blog entry about it.
