Hi!

I have had my mousepad for about 5 years~ now and I am starting to feel it's lack of smoothness.


So I was thinking about buying a boobypad but some people suggested a steelseries (can't remember model)

I don't need a super xxx mega pad that plays automatically I just want something that can run my mouse smooth


(I have a razer laser pointer) http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-imperator/ so I don't think I need to change that.

Just looking for a good mousepad(prefer a boobypad for "support"(let's say that, they'll probably fall for it)) kind of big surface for a price between 10$-30$

The Steelseries HD series is pretty good for laser mice.

I use a Steelseries QCK+. It's the same as the QCK, but it's larger, so it covers the entire side of my desk. I like that, because I like lower DPIs, so I wanted the extra space. I can 100% recommend this mouse mat in every way. MxG PhiLL might be right, though, since I believe that the HD series is specifically for laser mice. I use a Razer Deathadder with an infrared beam.

Depends on your needs. There are mousepads with slippery and gripping surfaces.

I personally own a Steelseries Qck, it has a large surface and it grips the mouse a bit. I think it's perfect to keep control of your mouse, but you lose speed instead.
I tested some time ago a Razer Scarab. It has a more slippery surface than the Qck but you still keep control and have more speed, which is a good balance. However, it is expensive and iirc not as large as the Qck.

The best advice I have for you is to find a store that has mousepads for show and test them, to make your own idea.

a table

Steelseries QCK is really great, I don't find anything wrong about it.

Looks like Steelseries 4 : Table 1

XD

Steelseries HD series is specifically for laser mice, but it's hard. If you like cloth, get a QCK.

QCK Heavy

QCK+ is really nice, perfect size and feel.

Puretrak Talent
The best
I even throw away my QcK+
Period

On a serious note, QcKs are quite nice but I kinda hate how they get worn-out and dirty pretty quickly compared to Puretrak Talent.

I prefer smooth rubber surface. I have some really old mousepad from 2006 or something, was MTW, however I don't know which model. To this day, best mousepad I ever tried, beats even the most known mousepads for me. I guess it's a matter of getting used to something as well.

i feel so cheap suddenly. i just use a $10 mousepad my friend got me about a year ago ._.
though it does work pretty well. \o/

Spending a few minutes in the search system..

On a more serious note I like my Razer Goliathus Alpha Speed Edition, but I believe it's different for all players.

i wish i had manboobs

not rly

I don't even use a mouse pad....haha.

my beloved miku oppad (is not the best, just the one i use)

also, this thread is irrelevant, there are no actual advantages with a steelseries mousepad to a non-steelseries mousepad. Seriously, these companies just market crap like: "Improve your gaming with high technology nano-fibres to detect every movement you make as smoothly as possible".

LOL. JUST LOL.

I use a Steelseries QcK+ mousepad because it's large. The whole "high-tech nanofibres" crap is because it's a cloth mousepad, and there are cloth mice out there that work terribly with optical/laser mice. The one you're using is a plastic mousepad, so that kind of stuff doesn't apply.

This!

(Read - ***LASER*** - laser mice are very surface dependent and require a hard pad to function properly)

It's very good, not overly priced compared to other mouse pads, and much better than the Destructor I had. Well to be totally honest, I'm not sure if that's because my Lachesis' feet were worn when I bought it, but I don't think so. Way too much glide at first, but then after little use it went from too much glide to no glide at all + required CONSTANT cleaning or else it would get too sticky. At one point, I decided to just use my previous desk as a mouse pad because it actually felt much better, though it eventually got to the point where it was just as bad as my Destructor.

The steelseries 4HD works wonders with my logitech G9X, too bad most of the initial glide is also gone after a couple of months. But it doesn't require ocd-level cleaning like the Destructor (several times a day) and it's still ok after 6 months. I guess all hard pads lose their glide within a few months if you are a heavy computer users, but the difference between this pad and the previous options is worlds apart. Like 4HD >>>>>> Desk >> Destructor. It was a fairly good desk though for my Lachesis, surprinsingly enough. Maybe I was just lucky. :O

Oh, and keep in mind that a different laser mouse might not perform properly on the 4HD, though I would probably find it unusual. That's because the best way to know is by checking if people who had your mouse could use it properly on the mouse pad you want to buy. You never know what issues an optical or laser mouse could have on a mouse pad until you do some research. All in all, the 4HD is an awesome hard pad if that's what you're looking for! If you have an optical mouse, you probably want to get a good cloth pad though, unless you don't mind the durability issue of hard pads that I mentioned above.


SIDE NOTE: this thread is pretty old for a bump, isn't it? "/

When I used to be a mouse player, Steelseries QcK was the shit. I'm now currently using Razer Goliathus but go for QcK.
