Makers of the popular Raindrop Design Mouse Pad - Allsop Europe Ltd, are working on the introduction of a new mouse pad ESPECIALLY for the Gaming Community.

The new pad will be much larger than its existing products and is expected to be about 17 inches by 14 inches. The pad will be made from the usual materials - open cell natural rubber with a canvas finish and the design printed into the pad so as not to interfere with mouse tracking.

The company expects to have first samples finished in the next 10 days and have arranged for a few gamers to put them through their paces and post their reviews when complete. Pads should be on sale early in 2003 and should cost about £10 or 15 Euro.
