With cloth ones I had to replace them every year and a half or so, whenever the edges started fraying enough that it annoyed me. The large QcK is big enough so you can put your hand on the pad to not touch the edges, and still have enough space for your mouse to move around. Also, the cloth seems to be glued to the rubber foam base in such a way, that it will never fray if the rubber does not start to crumble, too. I had bad experiences with hard mouse pads. The texture wore down in the middle where the mouse was, and the mouse started to stick to the pad. The hard mouse pads that did not wear down instead started to eat the mouse feet. The Allsop Raindrop, on the other hand, never went kaputt and also never destroyed mouse feet. I guess regularly sticking new mouse feet onto the mouse is not any worse than having to wash and dry the cloth pad, but I kinda dislike how easy the mouse glides on a hard mouse pad, so I have to go with cloth. | ||

I haven't found one that feels like my desk enough, and my desk has just the right amount of slide. You might not have to buy a new one =) From experience, if you don't use a mousepad, chances are the little pads on the bottom of your mouse will begin to wear, causing more friction. This is also why I never use hard mousepads. I've been using my qck+ for about a year now and it shows no signs of deterioration. | ||

The place where I've had my mouse is really "hard", the friction has been reduced cause of all the dust I've hammered into the mousepad with my mouse xD. I guess I can turn it around and play on the other side, but after that I need a new one for sure! Or is it possible to wash it, or does it destroy the friction if i do? qck usually last 1-2 years so you must play alot washing the area with a small amount of rubbing alcohol (emphasis on the small) as the hardness would be most likely due to your body oils being left on the mouse pad which would cause it to be somewhat hard. Also it could be that you split something on it (i dont know what it would be lol) as a general rule of thumb soft pad tend to be cheaper and less long lasting relative to hard pads which can be more expensive and quality is variable. However some people prefer one or the other for a whole host of reasons and it is more personal preference about which one you choose then X is better than Y. At the end of the day it dosent matter the strength and power of the sword it is the warrior that wields it that matters. | ||
