Hiroshi,

	I don't know where to get a mouse pad, but one word of
caution. Sun for some reason came out with incompatable mouse
pads. You have to make sure that the mouse pad and the mouse
match. You can probably tell from the part numbers on the back of the
pad. 

The other possibility is that your mouse pad got switched with
another. If it works in only one direction, x or y, then this may be
your problem.
