Aagghh the dreaded Belkin mouse pad!! No cheap computer desk is complete without one. I probably have owned, been given or thrown away about 20 of these. At one stage they seemed to be everywhere - every office I went to had them as did every home and every building housing a computer. Nowadays you can pick them up for £2 or so online, but seriously don't bother. Just look down the back of any drawer where you keep your old computer kit and you are bound to find one. This was 'the' bog standard mouse pad. Measuring around 25cm by 20cm by 0.5cm it was average sized and had no special features of any note. The back was made from foam which I suppose ...  Read the complete review

For years I thought that I was being stalked by these mouse pads because every time I moved office, there was one of these either on the desk or buried in some drawer somewhere, and every time I went to a business meeting, someone would have one of these on their desk around the office - such is the popularity of Belkin products and in particular this mouse pad. When I moved into my new job a few years ago, I inherited a brand new red version of this pad (apparently the Admin staff had run out of the blue version). I thought that the company was being very generous with new presents for me, until I noticed that these were being sold on Amazon for 1p (plus ...  Read the complete review

As I only have a laptop I never had any need for a mouse mat at home. When my fiancé and I bought our house we started to share my laptop and I realised we would need one along with a mouse as Mark finds the touch pad a pain and prefers a mouse! . We didn't want to spend a fortune so he got a cheap mouse and a Belkin Standard Mouse Mat. I cant remember the exact price we paid but it was well under £5.00 and came from Amazon. The Mouse Mat is basic and plain. We had two colour choices, blue or red, I'm not sure if anymore colours are available now, but we chose the red. it's a lovely bright red too. The mat is a nice size, approximately 8 x 10 inches. It ...  Read the complete review

Belkin Standard Mouse Pad I was recently clearing out some of the left over boxes that had been sitting in my office since we moved house earlier this year. I was a bit surprised at how many mouse mats and other office bits that I have accumulated throughout the years. Mouse mats are something that I still use on my desk but I prefer the newer gel wrist support style versions over the rather older fashioned flat squares. I found not one but two Belkin Mouse Mat's in my then unpacked box, one black and one blue, exactly the same apart from the colour. Personally, I think that these look smart but not very interesting, with the range of ...  Read the complete review

A mouse mat review isn't ever going to be an especially scintillating read - but these much neglected items deserve their time in the spotlight as much as the latest celebrity fragrance or the new Justin Bieber CD. Today i'm looking at Belkin's 'Standard Mouse Pad' which happens to be a no-frills accessory which delivers a solid performance. This particular pad has a particular nostalgic appeal to me (that's if you'll allow yourself to become dewy-eyed over an inanimate object), as it was the one I used throughout university. Design & Appearance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Measuring 25.4 x 20.3 cms, the mouse mat is a comfortable size to work ...  Read the complete review
