If you choose to produce a glass or clear plastic promotional mouse mat you may want to choose producing one that lights up. Granted this is very gimmicky and will have a limited appeal to people, however it will make quite an impact and since this is a promotional mouse mat the impact is really one of the more important considerations you must face.
There are several ways to go about designing how to light up in power your promotional mouse mats, each one more complex than the last, however the first choice you need to consider is whether or not you would like your promotional mouse mat to be wired or wireless. You will then want to consider what type of light you would like your promotional mouse mat to produce, and finally what sort of form factor would you like to follow.
Deciding whether or not to use a wired or wireless promotional mouse mat as the basis for your design is fairly simple, and the arguments for wired versus wireless are well known. With a wireless promotional mouse mats of course you have the convenience of there not being an extra wire snaking across the desktop, on the other hand you then have to deal with issues such as battery life and battery replacement. With the wired version of your promotional mouse pad you will have to deal with another wire across the desktop, however you will not have to pay any attention towards issues like battery life, and where to fit the battery compartment into your design.
If you do choose to go with a wired design for your promotional mouse mat more than likely you will be using a USB cord to supply the power to the lights. While designing your promotional mouse mat to be powered off of USB may have been a bold choice in the past because not everyone had USB ports on their computer nowadays this is pretty much a non issue because USB is a standard supplied with every new computer and has been this way for a few years now.
Since there is a pretty strong case for both the wired and wireless version of your promotional mouse mats you will likely need to choose an option based upon the rest of your design. If there is space in your form factor to support a battery pack then by all means choose a wireless option if that is what you desire. However if you'd like to keep the form factor of your promotional mouse mat slim then you will likely want to choose a wired option.
All of your lighting options should be based off of LEDs. There are other alternatives available, however since this is a promotional mouse mat you will likely want to keep costs low; and nothing is more low cost then using LEDs for your light source. LEDs come in three basic colors, plus color changing versions that can allow you to customize your promotional mouse mat to fit your original design goal.
