What's better about a gaming mouse pad compared to a conventional one? I use a $5 one and it seems good enough.

I got a higher end razer mousepad (totally forgot the name of the snake it's named after) because i have a relatively high dpi mouse that seems to skip a lot on cheap-o mousepads.

But I really hate threads like this. I know a lot of people come in from FPS games where you need the highest performance most expensive everything asking what kind of mice and keyboards they need to play starcraft. All you need is a wired mouse that tracks well (you could do wireless, it's just laggy) and a keyboard that is comfortable to you. I use my laptop's keyboard, a razer salmosa, and that razer mousepad i mentioned. that's really more than enough. (The only reason i even have that salmosa is because i do play quite a few FPSes and enjoy a higher sensitivity mouse.) But you don't even need a mousepad if you're not going to invest in an expensive mouse.

EDIT: and to the question above, gaming mousepads generally have more weaves or stuff that the mouse can tell apart closer together so a high dpi mouse can track movement more precisely.

I don't understand spending $40-100 on a mouse when you won't spend $20 on the surface you move it on. The two are so related and are equal importance in my opinion.

It's like having a race car and then never taking it a real track, just driving it around on your shitty cracked rough street roads. It can certainly be done, but do you honestly believe there won't be a benefit in the handling if you took it to an actual track?

That's where i just don't see the logic in people who are cynical about mouse pads. Yes. many of them are overpriced, but the surface you use does change how your mouse feels.

I remember a while ago someone on a different forum linked this website to a industrial plastic supplier type place where you could buy the same material they make a lot of high end mouse pads with for really cheap, in any size you wanted. I wish I remembered where it was.

I use a standard gel'ed pad. Fairly comfortable - not sure I could do with out the wrist pad. Unfortunately about 20% of my rather small mouse pad is stuffed under my keyboard due to size limitations of the keyboard tray mixed with my beefy g15 (took me awhile to find a desk with a large enough keyboard tray as is!).

If I ever end up converting to a nice pad I'd have to move my mouse onto my desk surface, which has plenty of room, but i'm not sure I'd be able to convert quickly enough when it comes to all the different variables: surface texture, mouse location (x and y axis), lack of wrist pad.

The only reason I've thought about changing is that my pad is very old and showing signs of wear. Just creased it real rough this week (can't tell when it is laying flat) and the wrist pad catches tons of skin flakes -- pretty difficult to clean and is pretty gross to do so. My buddy just purchased a razor pad this week for a low price on some bidding site and I'm going to let him give me a quick review before I switch over. Perhaps I can just get his old one, which is just a nicer version of my current.

I use my parallel programming text book as a mouse pad, its a nice size and the cover is a decent mousing surface, plus when ever i need to look something up its right there. On the downside it is the most expensive mouse pad I will ever use since it cost over $100

I use Razer Goliathus medium: http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.169417100

it's not a "high-end" mouse pad, but it's definitely a gamer pad, and it's more expensive than a generic $5 pad.

I use a Razer Kabuto and it's great. I have about 4 different kinds of mousepads and it makes a noticeable difference.

I use a qck heavy, for the width mainly (I bought it for cs 1.6). It covers half my desk so there's no chance of running out of space. I use a £5 keyboard (so I could take the nonessential keys out without worrying) but a £18 mouse mat was well worth the money

I use a MX518 on a wooden varnished desk.

Plain and simple, has always worked for me.

But I must say that I would like to try out one of those Steelseries mousepads or Icemats, at least I think that's what they are called. They're basically huge glass mousepads, but they've done something to the glass to make it useable as a mousepad.

I've been using this http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Limited-Wrath-Lich-Fragmat/dp/B001H31B1G for about a year and a half now.

I wasn't into the BW competitive scene at all and played mainly WoW and CS 1.6 before so this felt like the right direction at the time.
