Ive tried a qck, rocketfish, and goliathus. The rocketfish control side was pretty nice, speed side I never used, just sucked for my razer mice, though my wrists seem to hurt using harder mouse pads so I switched to the qck, it was decent though my wrists still hurt a bit; I lost it and switched to a goliathus, it was amazing for my abyssus, and also easy on the wrists. Its a little thicker, heavier, but I still lug it around with me since I play on my laptop at school often. Its honestly the most comfortable mousepad I've had. I really enjoy the thickness on my wrists.

It's funny how most of these mousepads are only made in size extra large (which I guess is good for FPS?), and then you see everyone at GSL for example with their mousepad turned sideways to make it fit next to the keyboard. Even the QcK "mini" is bigger than I need!

Alot of fps pros use larger set of muscle memory, so they use lower DPI mice and so the travel distance is much larger thus need a larger mouse pad. RTS can be played fairly effectively with using finer motor skills so higher dpi mice is fine.

Frankly i use an ergonomic mouse and a wrist rest set at a really high dpi. I only need like a 6 x 6 inch pad to fit my purposes

I'm never going to be the best and i don't need to fuck up my hand trying to do so.

fUNC F-SERIES is the best mousepad by far. And I have used many.

i played wc3 and cs 1.6 comptetively using a yoga mat for a mousepad, no joke. it works really well if you can find a spongy but smooth surfaced one, but for convenience sake i got a regular cloth pad to replace it. i still wanna bring my yoga mat mousepad to a LAN someday though, it would be pretty baller as tasteless would say.

I haven't used any other "pro mouse pads" so I'm limited, but As a graphic artist, who uses a mouse A LOT, and can tell when my mouse is jumping even the SLIGHTEST bit, I have to say, I IMMEDIATLEY FELL IN LOVE, with this dual sided rocketfish mousepad...

I have used that Rocket Fish mouse-pad, however, like the teflon feet on the bottom of your mouse, the surface of the plastic will gain scratches over time and imho wear down the feet on your mouse faster.

Now I use this:

[Found Here]

It is huge (can be cut to desired dimensions), and so frictionless your mouse will glide across it almost like an air hockey table. It is cloth, but assuming you aren't a biological hazard, there shouldn't be any issue with cloth mouse-pads. Also, even marginal quality cloth mouse-pads shouldn't be 'squishy' as someone suggested they were (did you find your mouse-pad in a moist dumpster?). I'm somewhat picky about my mouse / mouse-pad. I've probably gone through 6-10 mouse-pads in 4-5 years and this one is the very best I've experienced. Another plus, at $13 you could do far worse for price.

i use the steel series QcK with the Kerrigan vs Zeratul art. really love the feel of the mouse pad and its really easy to bring around. I even use it in school lol. I use a Logitech G500 over it and gives me really smooth control. Also, its only $15 bucks =P

i pretty much use the same thing. qck mass with G500. i prefer a thicker mat as my previous one was thick too. one thing i don't like regarding the mouse pad, it's way too big. i never move my hand when i play games.

Steel Series QcK Mini. The best mouse pad on the market.

For me a decent cloth mousepad is far and away the best. you can get a good one for like $15 by steelseries or razer from most retailers.

I have a Razer Goliathus Control. It got pretty low static friction for a cloth pad which is very important. I have tried a plastic pad with with amazing glide but i had to switch because i couldn't click without moving the mouse

This is my mousepad:

It works well for me. Nice surface, almost as big as the qck heavy. Seems like my g900 tracks well on it. Cheap :D. What more can you want?

Exactly why the control is such a fantastic mousepad. It takes an almost identical amount of force to begin moving the mouse from a stand still, as it does to keep moving it. This consistency is not the norm for a cloth mouse pad, and is usually only reserved for plastic pads. But as you've said the plastic pads can be so slick that you make inadvertent movements and overshoot. Hard pads also tend to wear down unevenly if they are textured.

I would love to get my hands on a Puretrak talent and some of those Zowie pads, they are supposed to have low static friction as well.

And I am not kidding.

You can hardly ask for more. Huge surfacearea , a really good mixture of grip/speed and cleaning is super easy. Any of those work really well with my MX-518.
