Mouse players: Type of surface you use for playing osu!

I was using a steelseries qck mini, but it didn't grip my desk very well at all and its surface was becoming more than a little bit annoying. I just bought a steelseries 4HD and I'm loving it:
I strongly advise that mouse players buy a decent pad, because having something which lets the mouse glide smoothly and track as smoothly as possible is a massive benefit.

Nice choice right there. It is by far the most preferred mousepad by gamers for ages. Though you may want to get QcK Mass or QcK Heavy if your table surface so you won't feel the bumpiness from the surface under the mousepad. It is also highly recommended if you tend to go to LAN parties. Otherwise, it's fine (my table is quite smooth though).krndude wrote:
Thx for all the replies.
My laptop sits on a small wooden glossy table and the response from optical mice isn't so great...after testing it a few times I noticed that even notebook binder paper yielded a better response.
I googled the SteelSeries QcK+ mousepad and it looks pretty sweet. Sounds like a good deal for 15 bucks, and it has some good reviews from Amazon. I'll consider purchasing it maybe sometime in the near future.
ive had plenty for mice that didnt work at all without one.
Some optical mice don't work on all surfaces i.e. wood, paper, glass etc. They all work on mouse pads.Frizz925 wrote:

qck+ since my glass desk doesn't play well with my mouse.
I'm not even exaggerating, I've been an extremely low sens. player since I started gaming.saymun wrote:
My speakers are behind my screen, so when you said you hit your speakers i laughed a bit. I'm quite interested in just how much do you move your mouse around. Well anyway, I used to use my desk as a mousepad as well, then i starved myself for a day and bought myself one of those razer mousepads, and never regretting it sinceLaVolpe024 wrote:
My desk. I never use a mousepad because I'm the sort of gamer that requires a lot of space. Always play on low sensitivity, constantly moving the mouse everywhere. Sometimes I even hit the speakers or clock on the edge of my desk. Mousepads limit the space, I can't adjust to 'em.
I used to just use my desk...but from the humidity and wear and tear its all beat up and unusable now. bought a cloth mousepad for general use but once again due to humidity it doesnt work well for osu...mouse gets hard to move around and what not.
I found a piece of masonry board while helping out my grandmother move some painting equipment and noticed it was about the size of my mousepad and incredibly smooth. Started using it and omg I dont think I can ever go back to using mousepads.

Steelseries QcK

Whoa more replies than I expected...
Yeah I just ordered the SteelSeries QcK Gaming Mouse Pad from Amazon last night and after reading that virtually every reply recommended it, I'm glad I did. I didn't get the + or mass because it would be too big to fit on the desk that I use and the 12.6" x 10.6" that the regular has is certainly enough. At $14.99 after shipping it seemed like a pretty sweet deal.

Well QcK Mass has the same size as the standard one but just thicker (QcK Mass has 6mm height instead of 2mm which standard QcK had).
I used to use a piece of white paper, then I switched to a cheap cloth pad to match my cheap mouse.
I still have that paper around, just can't bear to see it go ;_;
Btw does buying a good mouse mean I need a good pad? I may get a new mouse today.

Oh I see. I thought the mass was bigger in size but come to think of it mass is measurement of weight not necessarily size >_> fail.
Athena: I am currently using paper as well haha but I don't really know from experience if a good mouse needs a good pad but I'm sure a good pad would help no matter what kind of mouse it is. I got the Logitech M305 wireless mouse. It is a good mouse except it is a mini-sized mouse and now whenever I use a standard sized mouse it feels like the weirdest thing in the world. It has great portability and it uses less space than a normal sized of course, which is why I like it. I only got it cause I tried it at my friend's house and it seemed pretty nifty. The wireless is awesome but I wouldn't say this is a "great" mouse, just an average one. Even though I'm a computer science major I'm not that big of a gamer so I don't really know what's the best out there; I'm more into programming.

I'm not using anything. I'm playing in the air, like a god. Okay, that was a bad joke. I have a pad, just an ordinary one, but I prefer not use it. My cursor is totally messed up when I'm trying to use it. ._.

some crappy mouse pad from Old Navy, my sister got it for me years back.
I have a cheap common cloth mousepad. I used to use a piece of wood as my mouse surface and I really liked how my mouse glided on it.
In the future I might buy Gaming Mouse Pad (Black) from Amazon

Razer Goliathus Control.
Bought it before I started osu! though, but I prefer it over a speed pad. Thick weave and high friction means any build up of hand salsa in certain areas (flaking skin, grease and dust) doesn't affect playing at all.
This one is a preference choice though.

What mouse is that, it looks a lot like DeathAdder to me.RusselG wrote:
shitty $2 mousepad from seaworld here
I used to use that as well. But the truth is, the Control one has less friction than the Speed does (yes, I've tried Speed edition). I guess that's because it touches the mouse much less than Speed does. But then I prefer SteelSeries QcK now since it provides smoother glide than Razer Goliathus Control.RaneFire wrote:

Nope. But if you want a better glide on your mouse then it's a must.-A t H e N a- wrote:

i find any wood surface with some sort of gloss and my wireless mirosoft mouse tends to teleport (only in osu O.o)
That's weird. Suppose there's other factors like grip, downward force and design of mouse feet? Because it definitely feels higher friction than a speed pad to me and I've also tried both.Frizz925 wrote:

And also I didn't get a control for a stable glide, I got it because I wobble my mouse cursor. I was more interested reaching a complete stop after a fast acceleration of the hand, rather than smoothness, which I do not have an problems with after playing a game like quake 3 defrag, in which "cpm strafe" is all about "smooth movement".
o.o . I use an old Hard gaming mousepad. o: . It has like a grainy texture, I dunno how to explain it. But it has two surfaces on each side, one grainy, and one smooth. All I know is one is better for control.
Sanya-printed cloth mousepad, and a plain one. (Both affects my mouse movement)
Razer Goliathus Speed, it feels good in smooth acceleration of mouse movement and smooth stopping rather than hard acceleration and hard stopping. Also, the mouse cable drag on the pad + a lot more friction....
an old tattered Mouse Pad. I intend to get a new, larger one soon.

My SteelSeries QcK that I ordered a few days ago just came in. It's pretty sweet but I feel I'm going to have to adjust the sensitivity; it's going to need more. I usually play at 1.6x sensitivity when playing on paper but I might have to go to 1.7x or 1.8x with this pad, which isn't a bad thing. Just going to take some getting used to.

I have to use a piece of matt grey card, it's the back piece of a file block of paper.
I can't find any other surface that works reliably, mouse pads/desks/paper don't work at all.
It's a low cost optical mouse I'm using.

I use computer paper as my mouse pad XD
It actually not that bad. I couldn't pass gold dust without it XD
Random I know, but it helps.

When I first started, I never used a mousepad. I played on a wooden table when I'm still using desktop PC.
But when I started to bring a laptop (not mine, but my sister's... ;_;) and traveled around, I'm having trouble playing it on various surfaces since different surface gives different experience. Some surface makes the mouse movement too fast and some makes it too slow, so I have to adjust in-game mouse speed multiplier between 0.7× to 1.2×.
After my bro bought Razer Goliathus Ω (Control edition) mousepad, I started playing with it and it really gives a whole different level of experience. This is where I started to think that I should get myself a mousepad as well. So far I still yet to have one even until now.
Now that I'm back to my hometown, I can only play this game at Internet Café. The Internet Cafe has Razer Mantis (Speed edition) and it almost has no difference of experience to my bro's mousepad.
I also am having trouble playing this game with different mouses, some are cheapo (and might not work on certain surfaces) and sometimes borrowed my bro's Razer Abyssus for fast spinning. I'm thinking of getting 2 mouses: Logitech M125 and any gaming mouse (preferably Razer). The Internet Café has different mouses as well, so I have to be picky on choosing a PC with Logitech M100 mouse, as other mouses somehow has built-in Mouse Cursor Precision mode (despite it being Logitech mouse as well). lol
