I have a magic mouse, but I couldn't find a good pad for it. so far, I am using TIMES =( Can you guys recommend any cheap and good pad for magic mouse?
 
I recommend any mouse pad that has a bump at the head of it to rest your wrist on. Really helps with comfort.

Also, the bigger the better, especially if you're using a large screen like the iMac's.
 
Both me and my girlfriend have the Steelpad QCK. It's real smooth and got a really nice feel when moving the mouse around. It's also really cheap for a high quality mouse pad. I totally recommend it!
 
I didn't even know you needed a mouse pad for the Magic Mouse. I've just been using it on the desk without anything...been working fine but should I be using one?

It's personal preference. You don't need one unless you are using it on a glass or reflective surface, but some people still like to use them.

I needed one for my glass top desk. But, I just bought a different type of pad instead - the Magic Trackpad:)

That said, a mouse pad is needed for the Magic Mouse if you're like me and are OCD about scratching those nice and smooth black runners on the bottom. Looking at the ones at the Apple Store, you'd think people were using it on sandpaper...gross...a mouse pad provides a soft surface for the mouse to slide;)

:D

fair enough. I would like to get the trackpad as well...love it on my MBP. Just can't justify the cost yet at this point.

I guess I'll just keep the desktop as my surface for now now unless an issue comes up.
