Bokishi Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 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? Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Moth Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) First off, I'd recommend eventually getting an optical mouse, not the outdated ball ones.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. Edited March 12, 2006 by Mothman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabrielle Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Mousepads are soft so you can rest your hand on. Why use the hardness of your desk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepixiesrock Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Your sexist comment has been reported. Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

mkreku Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 http://www.ulti-mat.com/v3/index.php?p=pro...=mousepads&id=1 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. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 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 have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I've heard good things about the Icemats: http://www.dvdshoponline.co.uk/Mousemats.html 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).

" 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 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. “Things are as they are.
