There are different types of mouse pads depending on the material it was made from. There are ones that are made from plastics, rubber, leather, glass, fabric, etc. It all depends on what type of mouse would be used with it, however the most common ones and the widely embraced type of mouse pads are the textured and ergonomically designed mouse pads. These provide better mouse movement plus comfort for users. Although there are gaming types of mouse pads, which is the best type of mouse pad, it costs a little bit higher compared to the other ones and not all your recipients are gamers, so you might just be wasting money on those.
