No one really seems to be doing much innovation in the world of mouse pads, so it's fairly exciting whenever a company comes out with a new feature, no matter how relatively unspectacular.

Take Allsop's latest innovation, for example. The company, which is the self-proclaimed "world's foremost supplier of mousepads," is stepping things up a notch, with their heat therapy gel pads. The concept is a fairly simple one: the wrist posture pad opens up, and a gel pad can be placed inside. The gel pads can be heated or cooled by being placed in a microwave or freezer.

The mouse ships with two gel pads, and is available through Allsop's site.
