Abstract: An improved mouse pad of soft and resilient material such as neoprene foam that incorporates a deformable component that allows the pad to retain any shape into which it has been molded. This shape-retaining ability is imparted by constructing the mouse pad as a sandwich in which a layer of shape-retaining material such as open mesh metal screening is laminated between two layers of neoprene foam or similar resilient material. A portion of the mouse pad can readily be molded along the sharp edge of table or formed into a padded ridge to protect the user's wrist. Further, this shape-retaining ability allows the mouse pad orientation to be varied in an ergometrically sound manner to minimize excessive stretching or awkward movements on the part of the user. This invention produces a versatile mouse pad that can be readily altered by the user to solve a wide range of problems.
