My beloved 5L has finally kicked the bucket. Somewhere between the frayed edges, the prickly surface and the cracks in the plastic portion, i've realized that its time for a new one.

I loved my 5L, especially the sticky bottom, the way it had a slick surface, but soften enough to press down for increased precision.

The size however, was a bit of a drawback to me.

Does anybody know of a mousepad similar to the 5L that isn't so damn big?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How is the 5L then? Is it fabric? Metal?

I myself is using the SteelSeries fabric mousepad, which i love dearly, sticky bottom that enables a bit of moving when i really want to, and the fabric is nice and easy on my hand.

the 5L is a hybrid. Hard plastic with a cloth toping.

dunno but i'm using the razer goliathus control small one (to fit my laptop desk) and it's pretty solid.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

I use a SteelSeries mousepad too... it's really nice for just smooth scrolling. Having a decent mousepad isn't really a big deal but they're relatively cheap from SteelSeries (the small ones).

This is of great interest to me, as I too have lost a mouse pad. My Periodic Table Of Elements Mouse pad went throught alot with me, some good times, some bad :'(. But hes long dead now, I Don't want to spend too much for a new one, because my brother has a pokemon mouse pad he bought in 1999 and it still works beautifully and is the best mousepad in the house.
