Hi TL community,
With Blizzard giving us a final week of time off before the release of sc2 to cancel gym memberships, breakup with gf's, and pretty much say goodbye to RL things I have been going over my prep list for launch.
One item i'm stuck on though is my mouse pad or lack there of. I think somewhere amongst all my moving I lost my mouse pad and never replaced it. I'm a low level plat player and guess i feel pretty comfortable with the straight mouse to table setup but wondered what the rest of the communities recommendation, equipment, or setup is? any thoughts or recommendations to pads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks TL
See ya on b.net

Generic mouse pad will suit your needs perfectly, even if you become a progamer making 5 trillion dollars per hour. Seriously. Just find and buy the largest one you can get for under 8 bucks
|
Dunno if it's "high end" but I have a func 1030 pad that I've had for like 6 or 7 years now
|
Currently using a piece of graph paper as my mousepad. Seems ok though I've never had a good mousepad to compare with.
|
just buy a 30$ mousepad and get it over with. If you arn't using a QcK steel series or a pure trak talent for pc gaming your gimping yourself in my opinion (especially for fps). You need mouse room to game on the pc however on an rts where your sens can be very high its less important
|
I use a razer goliathus fragged speed edition. It is a soft mouse pad that is extremely grippy to your clothes and skin, but your mouse glides on it like a cloud. That allows you to be very fast and very precise at the same time.
|
I got a "gaming" qck steel mouse pad from a friend and you can actually tell the difference right off the bat. It's definitely a lot smoother and you're never going to have to deal with anything preventing you from what you want your mouse to do. I say, if you can, try a gaming mouse pad out and see if it works for you. Otherwise just use what you're comfortable with.

Def using the mouse pad that came in my WotLK CE box.. Hope i get a new one with SC2 CE
|
I don't use any mouse pad.. my table is good enough, even for playing quake. For me it's more comfortable and cleaner. I hated to wash mouse pads...

That would be cool, but you won't they only giving you useless stuff

Got razer mantis mat after the razer TSL and I am super happy with it. Definitely feels smoother and no problems with it at all, the mouse sometimes jumps a bit on other mousepads/no mouse pad.
|
For an FPS, I can understand having a huge mouse pad cause the players tend to favor low sensitivity which requires large sweeping strokes, but I don't think I play on low enough sensitivity to warrant such a large mouse pad.
|
my mouse works great on my tabletop. i dont really see how a 30 pad could help...
but ive never tried one so who knows.
|
Unless you're playing a lot, or trying to definitely get better, i think a regular mouse pad is enough... mousepads can be somewhat expensive and there's no need to spend money unecessarily.
If that's not the case though, i think a good mousepad is important for top performance... not only prevents the mouse from skipping pixels when it can't read the surface, but it slides better, making it more effortless to move it around. Also being big helps if you have low sensibility on the mouse and want to move the mouse freely without having to lift the hand so much.
@soullogik :O mine's a 5L as well, but prettier

steelseries qck+ because my table lost color after a few years not using a mosuepad
so get one  good mousepads are not expensive
|
I use a quite large Steelseries mouse pad. I love it~
|
mouse pad ... never had a good one
they are too small, have friction issues, get decimated by 8h/day usage I'm using the straight mouse to wood method, I don't understand what mouse pads are made for ....
|
Get a supermat. They're 10 bucks, great quality, incredibly durable, tons of quake pros use them and they're absolutely fucking enormous. If you don't need one that big you can just cut it up into pieces. Mouse pads are not made of magic, you shouldn't get hung up on it as your artifact or war or whatever gaming companies want you to think of your gear as.
