New Mouse Mad/Pad Gaming Surface

[Bisley_Bob]

My venerable Steel Series S&S had become pretty shiny and worn out in the centre so I think its time to buy a new surface for my G5 to run about on. There are so many on the market that I'm just confused to be honest. I have a digestive biscuit habit, so I don't think a cloth weave mat would be good, crumbs (although I try and brush them off) could end up getting embedded within the fabric. What mats have worked well for you guys?

Ooo me too!!!!!!!!!!

I got a Razer Exactmat, and its one of the hard style ones, and its quite small.
I wouldnt really recommend it.

I want to hear peoples experiences on cloth mats, as thats what im looking at getting next :p

Steelseries QcK

Yes, it's cloth, but it's really durable and you can handwash it just fine. If you happen to get just a few crumbs on it you can just take a damp piece of paper and clean it up a bit.

Very responsive and definitely the best mouse mat I've had.

i usually dont eat at my computer (is that weird?) so i dont have to worry about stuff in my cloth mat, problem with "gaming/performance" pads is that they are waaay over priced for a piece of plastic with a brand on it.

I got mine (http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/pc...pad-black.aspx) from Best Buy for $15. It's a lot bigger than my previous mouse pads.
The only problem I've noticed is that it seems to wear the feet on my G5 faster than a regular cloth pad.

Re: New Mouse Mad/Pad Gaming Surface

That's a good point about the solid mats wearing out the mouse feet. Luckily Logitech are absolute heroes and send out new mouse feet for free if you ask nicely! The more I read the more attracted to the cloth mats I'm becoming.

This is a bit off-topic, but Logitech are freaking heroes. I didn't even know about the free mouse feet, but their support has been so awesome for me that I will never buy a mouse from anyone else.
When I bought my Mx510 back in 2005, the left button died after about a month. Well, it died on a Friday night and I was leaving for a deployment on Monday. So I called them up and explained the situation. The guy told me to hold on to the screwy one so I at least had something as a backup. They sent a new one next day air right away, no questions asked. I got it Saturday afternoon. A lot of hardware and software companies should look to Logitech as an example of how customer service should be run.

I sent them an email saying my G5 from 2005 was running low on feet and the button occasionally clicked... so they sent me a new G5 G2

Re: New Mouse Mad/Pad Gaming Surface

I've just ordered a Steelseries QcK, so it had better be good iQue!

They have you send in the mouse or just prove you cut the cable?
