Q1: What kinds of surface give the best grip?

[Answer]

You can slide your hand over a polished table-top much more easily than over a rubber mat.

Rubber mats are made of a material that is designed to stop movement. Computer mice are fitted with glides made of a material which is very smooth and designed to give very little friction.

So you can choose the material to suit your grip needs.
