Modern Cool: DWR's Aluminum Mouse Pad

A lot of people don't like modern because it can be cold, but sometimes when it is that means it's really, really cool.

A lot of people don't like modern because it can be cold, but sometimes when it is that means it's really, really cool.

Such is the case with DWR's Aluminum Mouse Pad ($35), which is spare, striking and literally cold to the touch (except for the felt wrist rest, natch).

It may lack a certain patterned flair of say, a Marimekko mouse pad, but if you're edging away from using mouse pads because of their Office Space-type looks, then this version might work great for your own fabulous office space.

Juicy Couture Mouse and Mouse Pad Set: Love It or Leave It?

However you feel about Juicy Couture — I have some choice words for this laptop bag, and you guys also had some about this one.

No amount of criticism that their stuff is too saccharine or, uh, pink will stop them from making stuff like this Sweet Couture Mouse and Mousepad ($45).I have a toothache just looking at this, but perhaps you have just redone your home office area into a pink heart and flower sanctuary.

The Rad Flight of The Conchords Mouse Pad

Granted Bret and Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords may not be early adopters to the latest gadgets, but they aren't totally clueless when it comes to tech — they've at least proven that they know difference between a DVD and a VHS!

Granted Bret and Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords may not be early adopters to the latest gadgets, but they aren't totally clueless when it comes to tech — they've at least proven that they know difference between a DVD and a VHS! Flight of the Conchords always cracks me up, so when I saw this $10 Flight of the Conchords: Eco-Friendly Mouse Pad on Hippy Shopper, I had to convince myself that my desk accessories need a little makeover. Besides, looking at two adorably goofy guys all day isn't that difficult either.

Awww: Robot Love Mousepad

I've made it abundantly clear that I love robots, but you know who else loves robots?

I've made it abundantly clear that I love robots, but you know who else loves robots? Other robots. They go on first dates and get married and have babies and it's all very Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I know that because of this Robot Love mouse pad — evidential proof!

I feel like I've walked in on a makeout sesh and I'm feeling a little guilty about it, but not so guilty that I'll look away. Check out the seller's whole repertoire of Robot Love mouse pads for further romantic inspiration!

Marimekko Mouse Pads for the Scandinavian Geek in You

If you're lucky enough to be near an H&M, then I hope you've gone in and checked out the Marimekko line!

If you're lucky enough to be near an H&M, then I hope you've gone in and checked out the Marimekko line!

I have, and because I'm totally on a Marimekko kick right now, I found these awesome mouse pads bearing beautiful designs from my favorite Finnish design company.

The Unikko design (the flower) is out of stock now, but I had to include it, because it's a classic.

And honestly, I'm not really as into looking at mouse pads anymore, because I'm on my laptop a lot, but I am totally making an exception for these!

Track Your Mood and To-Do List With Funky Mousepads

Finding unique mouse pads that don't have company logos on them isn't easy.

Finding unique mouse pads that don't have company logos on them isn't easy. The usual suspects often look cheap, silly, or just make you feel dumb. So why not use a mouse pad that's fun and functional? The Daily Mood Tracker Mouse Pad, $10, is actually a paper pad with empty mood categories (hey, you never know how you are gonna feel tomorrow!) and space where you can leave yourself notes and reminders. When it fills up, you can peel back the sheet and start again.

The company also makes an Information Central model, which has more space for notes and a Random Dawdle model for all your random dawdles and doodles.

Smart Women Back Up Mouse Pad: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

I honestly don't really look for decorative mouse pads anymore, but I might make an exception for this one.

I honestly don't really look for decorative mouse pads anymore, but I might make an exception for this one. I love this mouse pad's retro styling and the message "Smart Women Back Up," because, you know, they do. (OK, yeah, I know it says "Smart Women Back Up Their Words," but I'm sure they're aware of the double entendre.)

It might be a very helpful reminder for the lazy geeks among us (guilty!).

Even Carrie Bradshaw had to learn. So, do you like it, or are you over novelty mouse pads?

Depending on how much you like to keep things bright and cheery at your workspace will probably influence how you feel about these cyber bug mouse pad sets.

Depending on how much you like to keep things bright and cheery at your workspace will probably influence how you feel about these cyber bug mouse pad sets. I for one like a bit of color but a mouse and matching mouse pad might be a bit over the top. Maybe the perfect gift for a child or student or for my mom who I know would love something like this. Each mouse pad set costs $35 and comes with a USB plug and PS2 adapter. What do you think? Too much for your style or do you love it?

I absolutely adore this style of print!

I absolutely adore this style of print! You know, the vintage picture with hilarious captions, which you find on cards and fridge magnets and you can't help but read them?

Nonetheless, do you love it as a mouse pad? Or should this print stay on cards and magnets? Leave your comments below!
