Vortex00 well the mousepads came in today. and I can’t say I’m really impressed.
To my surprise they are not even gel filled. I actually didn’t even realize this was even possible to have a non-gel filled pad lol.
the entire pad is made out of this material:

I took the fabric off one of the pads. This is definitely not what I expected when ordering. I don’t even feel comfortable sending out any of these to anyone. lol.
I checked my e-mail and I said to make the pad with EVA which is this material below.
And also, I thought just the bottom part was going to me made from that material. Not literally the whole pad. anyways I’m going to try these guys next:

they have a 100 minimum and you can go even less. I might get 50… lol. Though 100 is not too bad all things considered.
All of these problems I had could have been avoided if I had the knowledge I have now.
oh well, you live and you learn.

WTF and there you have it people MADE IN CHINA. God damn so how fuck up are the orders?
Make 50 with that other company… Be in the safe side man.
Dude I would be so piss off with my orders I’ll go crazy ape shit. Like that one red neck from whataburger.
yeah I will go with the other company. Not much I can do at this point. this is China. not really some retailer I can just go get a refund from. In response to your first comment. It is pretty bad. A lot of the pads on top are mashed down and dented from parts of the cardboard sticking into it during shipping. They said there would be 10 boxes, but it seems like they just was like “fuck it”, and mashed everything down into 5 boxes. That is at least how I see it.
lol.. yeah. Not feeling too great. Been just fixing the bugs in UMCC. the mousepads is pretty much a disaster. But will be made right.
I could make my own shit by getting stuff from hardware stores like the home depot. and fabric places like hobby lobby, etc. it is just silicone, eva, fabric and glue.
but third time’s a charm ?
I at least want to see some custom ones done correctly.
Well this will be a interesting TandA video. Maybe a video showing the orders how fuck up it really is. Just to show a shock value for beware for other users that dare do business making a mousepad to order. Giving tips what to avoid doing business with factories. Since that is where you done your business at. A Factory that makes mousepads.
Vortex…. você parece estar com tanto azar quanto eu esses dias. >___>

Eu te empresto o jccq89 para ficar abraçando você e falar “vai ficar tudo bem”.
E não passe nada quente em EVA ou pode derreter, manchar, perder forma e talvez pegue fogo.
Thanks, yeah I am done taking these kind of chances for a while. lol.
Yeah I plan to just try to add a fabric to it cold. just do a slow process.
Are the mouse pads important and is there any demand for them?
I can imagine a lot of people using a computer normally has a bigger mouse pad that fits their usage more.
like handful of people here and a the folks from the kickstarter.
it is funny you question the pad actually being practical. I was thinking about that very same thing earlier today. If I made my own “breast” pad or whatever it would probably be very “western”. Very large and rectangular. Just like every other mouse pad. and even more solid and sturdy like a gaming pad. Not sure why these are even rounded like that to even begin with.
Might throw some LEDs on it also.
Aria ones could have LEDs, those would kick-ass
The rounded is probably because back in the late 90s when ergonomic mouse pads came (before the boobs) you were not supposed to move your arm away from the pad and keep your wrist resting on the soft pad. So the wrist movement goes a bit further to the left so the curved piece of the pad is covering that area.
I see. I’ll start with a more larger gaming type pad and figure out the little cushion later.
But hey man, they dont feel good on touch or anything? Too bad all this stuff happened with the mouse pads. If you experimentate with them, film it and show the results.
yea I can do that.
the foam stuff being the breast part is not totally bad but the pad itself is bad. it is just flimsy overall. I’d rather have just a flat mousepad in comparison to these.
what Marcus mentioned was also true. I actually use a pretty think magazine as a mousepad. So the covers are not even fabric at all just kind of thick a photo paper. I think it would be good to really analyze what is actually practical and yet also combines the oppai stuff together.
because these pads are pretty low quality. I noticed today that the images are not even lined up the same way on each pad. terrible. lol.
something like this would be cool. just need to combine the best of both worlds

A glowing mousepad, so what you’ll do is make it look like Maiko’s hairpin is glowing?
I want to be able to make any character that anyone would want. so first I will need just a general idea. the if there is something that can glow on the character then I could make it glow.
Joe’s idea is good, i was thinking about Aria glowing type of mouse pad, but i forgot about the pins and even Annie with some glowing aura, like when she teleports would be great!
so I am thinking basically this from the video but have EVA material under the plexiglass so it wont slide around. I might have to put two images on top of the glass. one totally dark with just cut outs where glowing areas are, and on top of that would be the picture. then something over that to protect the picture. the only funny part about this is how any “boob” areas would actually work. All I can think of at the moment is fabric. Which is something I want to get away from or at least keep to a minimum. But that is actually assuming the breast part is actually inked… which is thinking only in terms of how it currently is. I could have a removable piece for it. and make it from a silicone mold. just use single solid flesh colors and airbrush on the nips.
so I managed to get into contact with the new China manufacturer above for 100 pieces. But i’m starting to wonder if it is even worth it? thoughts? I already got some material to make my own stuff. Just need the plexi glass. I will make at least one this weekend.
I could probably just keep it simple, fuck the boob shit, and start with normal light custom up ones. I’ll figure it out later thoguh I do have some ideas. might try annie first since it is just a green circle basically.
Well you have what 1000 mouse pad right? Might as well use them for experiments and see what you can come up with. Before trying the new Chinese manufacturer. Hell you made a hairpin as a project. Might as well try to see how it comes up with your idea. If it fail from you trying to make your own glow in the dark mouse pad, than go to a professional manufacturer. Might as well make something out of them boxes man.
I actual got a stuff a long time ago to make the hairpin batter and lighter. just never got around to doing it.
there is not much to experiment with. I all have learned form looking at them is that they basically take the normal sized neoprene, and press it down and probably heat it so it stay in place in certain areas. the process is probably done by the “mould” Chinese manufactures talk about.
It is probably like a giant heat stamp. with some parts elevated like how a normal stamp works. the boob part is two neoprene layers
I’m nearly done getting everything I need for this. will go with 11X14
