    Something in keeping. Consider this a 'style over substance' setup ;)

    Good point. All right. Pretend the Magic Mouse is there instead then when recommending.

    Definitely the Razer Pro|Pad. Razer's Pro| series products are their "other half", so to speak. They have the gaming hardware that everyone in the world knows about, and then they have this stuff, which is more oriented around business than gaming. Although some of their hardware is similar (identical, even), like this Pro|Pad and the eXactMat, and the Pro|Click and the Copperhead.

    It's basically the exact same thing as the eXactMat, but white instead of black. Same dual-sided Speed and Control design and everything. Plenty of style and substance to go around. ;)

    I'd say ...

    Qck Experience I-2 white [​IMG]

    Razer megasoma would be nice, but the text ruins it [​IMG]

    Or simply ... a white ceramic tile LOL [​IMG]

    Oh, the ceramic tile would be the absolute best.

    No doubt the dedicated Appleist would probably get someone to bevel the corners of the tile :D

    I'm going to try the Pro Pad first - a known quantity. If that doesn't work out for any reason I'm going to go with the I-2. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have a supplemental accessory recommendation request to finish off the desktop:

    Coasters. I'm looking around at the moment but I'm not seeing anything that catches my eye.

    Ideally, they'll be available in the UK.


    EDIT:

    Just ending this thread, but I'm happy enough with the Pro pad so far. I did actually order a QCK as well but was told it was out of stock, and didn't bother to backorder. I think I saved my money there. It's not EXACTLY a visual / style match, and perhaps the QCK would have been a better choice - but the pad works well enough.
