... I haven't used a mouse pad since I got an optical mouse.. Other then the dog hair once and a while I find it works better. Then again, it depends on how smooth your surface is.
Check here, they have some pretty neat stuff (I know these one mouse pad on there that tweaks my interest, but I can't post it here as its NSFW) -- http://www.xoxide.com/mousepads.html
http://www.xoxide.com has some pretty wicked stuff.. That's where I got my computer case from (with a cup holder and cigarette lighter I might add)

I used to use a cordless mouse with an Ouija board mouse pad. Freaks people out when you tell them the mouse will move by itself 
Aside: That xoxide site has some cool stuff. Like this - http://www.xoxide.com/xray1.html

That made me lol.
BTW -- I have that cup holder / cig lighter.. Its kinda useless for me, seeing as I have a door on my computer and all, but it still looks cool!
You find one yet?
Gotta keep us updated man.

A mouse pad is a mouse pad is a mouse pad. I didn't use for for a very long time with my optical mouse, but I eventually wore down my keyboard/mouse tray on the desk and had to buy one. Went to the local Tiger Direct Outlet (now a Comp USA) and bought some huge black one for $4. I had to cut it because it was too big for the desk. Why waste money on a fancy one when odds are you're going to spill something on it or wear it out sooner or later.

When buying a mousepad, it's important to think of what you're going to be doing with the mouse. If you do photoshop/movie editing where you have the mouse sensitivity turned down and need to make larger movements, a big mousepad made of cloth or such will probably be better than a small plastic one, whereas for gaming, you want something that will be a smooth surface that doesn't have to be that big.
I've had a Funcpad Archetype for 3 years now, I'll swear by it. It's about 20 bucks on newegg and such, so it's pricier than the cheapo stuff from Wallyworld, but you don't have to worry about spills since it's plastic, makes for easy cleanup. I use the upper right end of mine for a coaster
Ah, and it has 2 sides, one that is slick and the other is a bit rougher. I used the slick side for forever but had to switch to the rougher side because the slick side was getting worn down too much.

Wow
That thing is phat city. I put it in my Wishlist there. Can't see paying shipping on just a mousepad, but once I rack up a few more things I just gotta have, it will be mine.
