My new desk is very slippery

Ok...for real, I got a new desk from Office Max for my PC. The first thing I noticed when I hooked my gear back up, was that my mouse was very very sensitive to this new desk surface.
It is some kind of hard molded plastic and actually my Logitech G5 glides really nicely over it, a little too nicely. I checked all my sensitivity settings in my Logitech software they were fine, and I checked my UT settings and nothing has changed there either.
Any suggestions on what I could do to fix this? It's very sensitive
. It's like rubbing silicone on silicone as it is - and I'm not talking about the hot kind of silicone action like lesbian breast sex on Girls Gone Wild.
Please - you know - somebody help me tame my mouse. Thanks, Pro

Put sandpaper on the mouse feet.

Bitch....only Pork. And he's the one person that should know the answer. He's very knowledgeable when it come to most stuff. Especially slippery mice.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I guess Pork just fell off his pedestal.

get an oversized gaming felt/cloth gaming pad. you should not be running a gaming mouse on any random hard surface unless you want to wear the feet.

thanks guys for the tips.....I used to have an S&S Quick Pad that was felt and rubber, but that was left behind in Holland (2007). I guess I'll get another one of those.

I hate to agree with nyte about anything
, but I got the same Ripper-XL mouse pad.
I turned mine sideways though, with the naorrow edge facing the front of my desk.

wow scary - me too!
Maybe I should contact X-Trac to sponsor Ti since we all seem to use them already!
