What kind of mouse pad for a laser mouse can I write on?

Fabric doesn't allow the pad to glide, and a plain table top slows it down. right now I'm using a piece of paper and that works fine. But I'd like something I can reuse, I feel bad about throwing the paper away when it gets dirty or ripped. I do like the fact that I can write on my mouse pad.

    permanent markers on a dry erase sheet... permanent comes off by just writing over it with a dry erase and wiping it off.

    Hmmmm, dunno'! This is the first time, I have heard about anyone wanting to use a mouse pad with an optical mouse! I thought it was to get away from fiddling with dirty rollers, and mouse pad's. At least it is for me! I cheat, and use a super smooth, fake wood, dining room table. (Hey, I need's the room! lol!) My mouse justs glidddddddes across the table! Works great for Photoshop, lemme tell ya'! If one really needs a scratch pad, I have seen those calendar planners at doctor's offices. The receptionist/secretary has one they glide their optical mouse across. They also jot notes down, (And doodle too! lol!)
