Ever spilled your coffee or your mountain dew on the mousepad? Well, I spilled my instant noodles once on my mousepad 
SteelSeries hears you. They just released a water and stain resistant mousepad, called the SteelSeries NP+. It’s a XXL-sized mousepad (450 x 400 x 4 mm) and high density compressed textile fibers. These fibers add stain and water resistance to the pad, making it easier for you to clean the liquids off. Check out the press release below.
SteelSeries Announces Water And Stain Resistant Mousepad, New SteelSeries NP+
CHICAGO – Jan. 7, 2010 -SteelSeries, the leading manufacturer of gaming peripherals and accessories, today during the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, introduced the SteelSeries NP+ Mousepad. The new, large surface was designed for gamers and mouse users who prefer a thick and rough glide surface. The pressure compressed fibers allows for extreme durability making it water and most-stain resistant.
“We work with a number of professional gamers that have a wide assortment of preferences when it comes to the surface they’re playing on or the level of glide and friction they prefer, said Bruce Hawver, SteelSeries CEO. “The SteelSeries NP+ was designed for those that prefer a rough glide and large area surface. The water and stain resistant material makes this surface, our most unique textile mousepad.”
Unlike any other surface that SteelSeries offers, the SteelSeries NP+ is specifically targeted for gamers that prefer a medium to rough glide and higher level of mouse to surface friction. Regardless of their preference, users can effectively operate an optical or laser mouse on the 17.7 x 15.7 surface. Its non-slip rubber base provides a firm grip and prevents the pad from sliding no matter what surface the SteelSeries NP+ is placed on.
SteelSeries NP+ Mousepad will be available at leading online retailers with an MSRP of EUR 24,99 beginning in March 2010.

Interesting. Although I haven’t used a mouse pad in years since I switched to optical mice. I like the freedom of not being bound by a mouse pad.
