Line 1:

This is a list of prominent people from the Eastern Caribbean, the Guianas, and the Bahamas. It does not include [[List of Cubans|Cubans]], [[List of Dominicans|Dominicans (from the Dominican Republic)]], [[List of Puerto Ricans|Puerto Ricans]], [[List of Jamaicans|Jamaicans]] or [[List of Haitians|Haitians]]. Because of the close proximity of these countries, some people are listed under more than one heading.

:''This article is about mouse mats for computer mice. Mousepad is also the name of a text editor for [[Xfce]].''

A '''mousepad''', or '''mouse mat''', is a surface for enhancing the movement of a [[computer mouse]].

[[Doug Engelbart]]'s original 1968 demo video of mouse usage shows a keyboard/mouse "tray" special-made for the purpose.<ref>[http://sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/1968Demo.html Article on Engelbart's demo]</ref><ref>[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8734787622017763097 Movie of Engelbart's demo]</ref>

According to Alex Pang,<ref>[http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/it/2002/3/2002_3_48.shtml Alex Pan article on mouse]</ref> Jack Kelley, the [[Herman Miller (office equipment)|Herman Miller]] office furniture designer, invented the first mousepad while working in Engelbart's lab; this claim is also made on the Herman Miller site.<ref>[http://www.hermanmiller.com/CDA/SSA/Designer/0,,a10-c80-b14,00.html Herman Miller page on Jack Kelley]</ref> This "pad" was probably the "tray" seen in the video.

The first publication showing the invention of the mousepad is in the Xerox Disclosure Journal, 1979, by Armando M. Fernandez, a technician at Xerox at that time.<ref>[http://www.priorartdatabase.com/IPCOM/000024222/ Xerox Disclosure Journal 1979]</ref>

*[[George McGuire]]

The computer mouse at that time had been improved to incorporate a rolling steel ball as an upside-down [[trackball]]. However, the steel ball still collected debris, causing the internal rollers to stick and skip, and thereby causing the pointer movement to become jittery and inaccurate on the display; this sticking problem was solved by the traction of rolling on a customized surface mousepad.

===Actors and Comedians===

After the 1979 Fernandez publication, the mousepad soon became a key element of office computers, proving itself on computers such as the Xerox Alto (built about 1973), and [[Xerox Star]] 8010 office workstation in the 1980s. The first mousepad made by Fernandez consisted of a silicone rubber sheet surface material secured to a rectangular clipboard with the same silicone rubber sheet material secured at the bottom of the clipboard as anti-slide feet. The silicone rubber surface was required to develop the needed traction for the steel roller-ball to perform effectively. At a later time the rubberized silicone surface was incorporated as a covering over the steel roller ball in order to improve needed traction.

The three most important benefits of the introduction of the mousepad were higher speed, more precision, and comfort for the user. A secondary benefit was keeping the desk or table surface from being scratched and worn by continuous hand and mouse rubbing motion. Another benefit was reduction of the collection of debris under the mouse, which resulted in reduced jitter of the pointer on the display.

==[[The Bahamas]]==

When [[optical mouse|optical mice]], which use [[image sensor]]s to detect movement, were first introduced into the market, they required special mousepads with optical patterns printed on them. Modern optical mice can function to an acceptable degree of accuracy on plain paper and other surfaces. However, some optical mouse users may prefer a mousepad for comfort, speed and accuracy, and to prevent wear to the desk or table surface.

==Types of mousepads==

*[[Janet Bostwick]]

A variety of mousepads exist with many different textured surfaces to fit various different types of mouse technologies. Vinyl board cover, because of its tackiness, was a popular mousepad surface around 1980.

After the rubberized silicon surface was incorporated onto the surface of the steel roller ball mouse, the popular fabric-surface mousepad was found to be the most appropriate. It helped keep the rubberized roller-ball surface cleaner and with better tracking, speed and accuracy than just a desk surface, which collected dirt and slowed the mouse's motion.

Optical mouses have the problem of not working well on shiny reflective surfaces and on surfaces with variouly located shiny spots. These surfaces, which often include desk and table surfaces, cause jitter and loss of tracking on the display pointer as the mouse moves over these shiny spots. The use of mousepads with precision surfaces eliminates shiny spot jitter effects of modern optical mice. Additionally, providing comfort for the user and reduction of eye and mental fatigue when using computers as a result of the reduction of jitter on the display.

Originally, mousepads were available in a simple rectangular shape. In recent years, though, they have been available in many shapes and designs. [[Ergonomic]] designs are available with built-in wrist rests made of silicone [[gel]], foamed and beaded materials.

===Musicians===

Companies often give away mousepads for [[promotion (marketing)|promotional]] reasons, and computer manufacturers often include a mousepad with their [[logo]] on it, usually with technical support information. Many artists have published work on mousepads.

There is now a fairly large variety of high quality "gaming grade" mousepads. In the beginning there were only a few such manufacturers: Everglide (arguably the first to come onto the market), fUnc Industries, Icemat, SteelSeries and Ratpadz (made by [H]ard|OCP). In 2005 several more companies followed suit, including [[Razer USA Ltd|Razer]], Qpad, Corepad, Xtracpads, X-Ray, Gamerzstuff, Ideazon, and Allsop. These pads are available in a wide variety of sizes to suit the different sensitivity settings that gamers choose. The Corepad Deskpad XXXL, possibly the largest pad on the market, is a massive 90cm x 45cm.

==Mousepad materials==

*[[Edward Brathwaite]]

Modern mousepads are typically made of foam rubber with fabric bonded to the upper surface. However, many other types of material have been used, including [[fabric]], [[plastics]], [[recycling|recycled]] [[rubber]] [[tire]]s, [[silicone rubber]], [[leather]], [[glass]], [[Cork (material)|cork]], [[wood]], [[aluminum]], [[Rock (geology)|stone]] and [[stainless steel]], for example. High-quality gaming mats are usually made from plastic or high tech fibres.
