The UGREEN CY016 is a plain, standard mouse pad with a smooth top and a non-slip base. It costs very little and solves three everyday problems: a pointer that jumps or stalls on a glass or glossy desk, a mouse that wears marks into a wooden desk, and a mouse that feels scratchy or uneven as you move it.
It is in our mice and keyboards range, along with the mice it works with.
Why a mouse pad still matters
It gives the sensor something to read
An optical mouse has a small light and a tiny camera underneath. The camera takes a rapid series of pictures of the surface and works out how far the mouse has moved by comparing the texture from one picture to the next. On glass, a polished table or a glossy laminate, there is little texture to read, or the light bounces straight back. The result is a pointer that freezes, drifts or jumps across the screen. A pad gives the sensor an even, textured surface to track every time.
Smooth, consistent movement
The smooth top lets the mouse glide with the same feel across the whole pad. On a bare desk, grain, joins, crumbs and scratches all change how the mouse moves. That helps in spreadsheets and photo editing, where small movements count.
A base that stays put
The non-slip underside grips the desk, so the pad doesn’t creep away from you as you work.
Protects the desk and the mouse
Over months, a mouse wears a shiny patch into a wooden or painted desk, and grit under the mouse scratches it. The pad takes that wear instead. It also protects the small feet on the bottom of the mouse, which wear down faster on rough surfaces.
Compatibility
The CY016 works with any wired or wireless mouse, whether it uses an optical or laser sensor. It suits the Logitech M185 and the UGREEN MU007 equally well.
Setting up your desk
Place the pad on the side of your mouse hand, close to the edge of the keyboard. Keeping the mouse near the keyboard means you don’t stretch your arm out sideways, which is a common cause of shoulder ache by the end of the day. Your forearm should rest comfortably with your elbow close to your side. Leave the pad on a flat, clean surface, because grit underneath makes it bumpy.
Who it suits
It suits anyone with a glass, glossy or uneven desk, offices and schools fitting out many workstations at once, and cybers where mice see heavy daily use. If you spend long hours on a mouse and feel pressure on your wrist, a pad with a built-in wrist rest is the better choice. Gamers who want a very large pad for wide arm movements should look at bigger gaming mats.
How it compares
For extra support while you work, the UGREEN LP668 adds a cushioned wrist rest and comes in three colours. If you are replacing a tired mouse at the same time, the UGREEN MU105 is an affordable wireless option.
Shake or brush off dust and crumbs every few days. When the surface looks dull or greasy, wash it by hand in lukewarm water with a little mild soap, rub gently with your fingers or a soft cloth, rinse well and let it dry flat in the shade before using it again. Don’t put it in a washing machine or a dryer, and don’t iron it. Keep tea and soda away from it, and wipe spills straight away.
