Mouse mat needed ???

[Abarbarian]

Got any recomendations for a good mouse mat . Retail or home made . I'm using a MX700 optical mouse .

I got one of these a month ago and it's brilliant.

Comes in a bigger size and/or 4mm thickness as well. I got the 1.5mm thickness medium size.

That looks really nice Flops ......But if you want to be really eccentric, Abarbarian, you could try what I've been using for the past 4 months, which is a sheet of Lakeland Limited's "Magic non-stick liner" my MX1000 laser mice are very happy with it. It's nice and "whizzy" for gaming etc. (And it lasts for ages.)

I used to have one of them but the feet on my G7 left a shiney mark on the mat and after a while the mouse wouldn't 'go off' had to move it off the marks, the lazer kept thinking the mouse was moving!

I now have an Everglide Titan Gaming mat its great! Very slick.

Aha - since I repaired my G7 (there's a thread on it somewhere) it doesn't have the original feet but has six of those teflon pads that came with the BFG 8800GTS.

So no probs in that respect

I'm still waiting for the G7 to crap out on me but it keeps going

Already mentioned above, THIS is the baby IMO

Ah yes, forgot about that.

Good choice Big Jay.

What's the size of that Everglide then? Including thickness? Cos I was thinking about getting another for a different machine.

Gotta say though that the Q-Pad I have is the best mousemat I've ever had.

Damn..... I really ain't doing too well lately am I?

Wrong mousemat, wrong soundcard, wrong phone.....

 

[V_R]

Hey no worries flops, you like the sound of your sound card, so i see no problem.

Nothing wrong with te Qpad, i blame the feet on the G7, but as you say your ok there.

The Titan gamer pad is 355x254x4mm Here

What phone did you get?

Thanks guys .
Funnily enough when I googled "gaming mats" Lakeland Plastics were at the top of the list ha ha ha .
Was looking at these but no one here seems to have one .

They are all just a bit spensive for me at the moment so I might just bike down the road and get some bakeing liner . So thanks for the reminder TaffyCat .

You are welcome AB

I bought one called a steelpad or something but it had a bumpy surface so the laser didn't track properly and it ruined the slidy teflon feet things.

Worst mousemat ever.

I now don't use one at all.

Bit late on this thread and I haven't read it all, but I've tried loads of pads and would always recommend S&S Steelpad - especially for optical mice and anything in the Logitech stable.
