The biggest surprise for me was seeing the desks with no mouse pads (or if you wanted to build it into the cabinet you'd probably want to stick down a desk pad).

But I also in my circles everyone takes their own keyboard/mouse/pad/headphones as those are the things it's hard to adjust to - admittedly my priorities could be completely different.

I mostly haven't used a mouse pad in decades... until recently. I now have a mouse pad on my main work desk because the wood where my mouse was kept attracting weird black spots. They were easy to clean off but weirded me out. And I guess it would be sad if I ended up with a permanent wear spot...

But I think the LAN parties don't really happen often enough to cause much wear. In 10 years at the old place no one used mouse pads and it was never an issue.

Have the same issue, but can't subscribe to mousepads. I believe that's dust getting in the crevices of the wood.

Or oils from your hand, perhaps?

May I recommend the 3M Precise Mouse Pad with Repositionable Adhesive Backing? Dumb name, good product.

Once you get oil, dust, or moisture on a surface, dust starts to build up. It's downhill from there. Hard surfaces are easier to keep clean, just don't leave them damp after cleaning, but completely dry and slippery.

The close folding furniture is probably great for holding back dust buildup.

Thanks from me as well, I am in fact going to get one of these and if I like it, equip all the stations with them!
