Unconventional ergonomics in Echery mousepad

We all have come to accept the fact that mousepads come in nothing other than the flat, hard surface that we know and love. Echery from Korea has turned that convention upside down by offering a mousepad that is mounted on the desk. The pad's designers claim that using it will remove any unnecessary fatigue in the shoulder and wrist. This theory could prove to be a very personal thing, as a lot of it depends on the user him/herself. It could be deduced that most people will find the use of this mousepad off-putting due to its bizarre nature. Needless to say, you can't really place a mouse on it in a stationary position without having it slide off the pad.
