In Need Of A Good Mouse Pad

[Kovoet]

Surface1030 or the new razer destructer, and the Zalman MP1000

I have two of the XT's here: http://www.ratpadz.com/

 

Love 'em. Feel like they'll last forever, really really smooth motion. Huge.

 

They work great with my G5.

Just ordered the Razer Destructer, got it from Amazon for 33.00 free shipping.

Please educate me!

 

You are bouncing a light beam of a surface. What makes one mouse pad better than another. Please forgive my ignorance as I don't do any "real" gaming.

Yet again, this is probably one of those things where people put WAY too much stock in a peripheral. But I assume that's what you're implying here

 

I do happen to use a "special" pad, but it's not for performance reasons. I use a Ratpadz GS because my hands get very sweaty and any cloth pad I use gets pretty gross with extended use. The plastic ones are easy to keep clean. I picked the GS specifically because it was the best balance of size and price (I actually wanted small not large, unlike most folks. Some of those pads are freakin' ridiculous in size!)

I use the thermaltake flare pad. It's pretty nice and works well. Blue light is bright.

To be honest, one of the slickest pad's I've used is a $2 Wal-Mart one. The only problem is that it's a pain to keep clean. A RatpadzGS with some Func Anti-Friction liquid is a cheap and extremely effective alternative.

I don't like using hard plastic because it's very uncomfortable to me, however almost all "gaming" mousepads are metal or plastic... Does anybody know of a good mousepad thats cloth/fabric that isn't over $25?

The Razer Mantis is cloth , I got one off Amazon. com for under 19 bucks. They come in two styles, speen or control. Its very big . A good pad.

Thanks for all the replies i was originally going to order the pad that hardnrg recommended but while i was at QuakeCon one of the vendors was SteelSeries. They had a short to minute sale (yes 10 minutes only ) and i managed to buy the last SteelSeries QcK+ (largest one of the series) mouse pad. It was only $10 and orginal price was about $15 or $20. Its really big and works ok with my mouse. Later on i will try to buy the one Hardnrg listed.

 

@orangejuice you should look into this one its pretty great and of cloth

I've got one of these sharkoon mats It's cloth, pretty cheap and works great with my razer. I noticed a big difference when moving to it as my old mat used to make the mouse freak out and shoot all over the screen sometimes, never happens with the new one.

I thought optical mouse beams didn't work too well with high gloss/shiny surfaces?
