I'm looking for a good gaming mousepad for my logitechG7. I want something with zero friction; the mousepad I have right now is too rough. Anyone know of any good ones?

First off, I'd recommend eventually getting an optical mouse, not the outdated ball ones. They're very smooth, and you won't even need a mousepad.

But still, I thought optical mice didn't need a mousepad. The one I'm using now doesn't.

Mousepads are soft so you can rest your hand on. Why use the hardness of your desk?

Never bothered me before.

 

Um, oh yeah - mousepad.

Guys have hard callous hands. I forgot.

Your sexist comment has been reported.

I really do have callouses all over my hands though.

But still able to administer pleasure, I imagine.

I need a mousepad because my desk is glass and it refracts the laser, making not work.

Just get one of those foamy type mouse pads and you should be straight. It's what I use.

Neato, but are there ones slighly smaller?

It's a teflon-coated steel pad. It's cold in the mornings, it's heavy as a brick, but it's really comfortable, it is basically frictionless (make sure your desk is perfectly horizontal, otherwise your mouse will slid off) and it's big enough that you can move your hands a lot before reaching its edges. I actually have half my keyboard on top of it too and still have room to play my games.

Shipping weight: 8Kg? WTF? That is one heavy mousepad.

Probably has something to do with what it's made from. What happened to the link to those Manga mousepads with breasts as wristsupport?

 

I havnt used a mouse in years so not much need for a mouse pad.

I've heard good things about the Icemats:

I don't have much personal experience with it, but I have a friend who swears by it (he's a hardcore gamer as well, so he's kinda picky).

But unlike Bokishi you aren't using a glass desk. "

 

And that mousepad is made of metal but even so, 8Kg...that's pretty damn heavy. That's over twice the weight of a standard laptop...

You should see the mouse!

Under the pad there is foamed plastic that prevents any echoing sounds. Due to this there are no additional and unnecessary sounds when using the mouse.

I like the sound of the teflon pad thing, but I have to wonder what they mean by the above. Echoing? Additional sounds?

 

The only sound my old-fashioned basic trackball mouse makes is the rather loud clicking sound of hitting the buttons, which has always driven me nuts while gaming. A mouse that makes no clicking sound would be nice. They probably make one somewhere by now.

some geek has managed to turn his mouse into a hand scanner. :D

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to settle for this one.
