I accidentally'd my SteelSeries hardpad w/ Acetone the other day, while cleaning a GPU. -time to replace it.

To give an idea of the rigidity needed:
The old pad sat on top of 23/32" Plywood, on my hand-me-down plastic folding table-desk. (don't judge. it fits well in my bedroom :laugh:)

Budget is <$30, preferably $10-$15.


As far as what I'm already looking at for options:

-DIY Poly-coated wood

-Glass and Aluminum hard pads
