mouse pad Mouse Pad Help

[BeardedYoda]

Hi y'all... I use some help.

 

I use a Razer Death Adder, which I really like, and a QCK pad. I've always had a problem with cloth pads where my mouse gets stuck while I'm moving it. The surface is clean, but the mouse doesn't glide so easily - as if it's running over sticky syrup or something.

 

This probably stems from the fact that I sweat a lot when I play, and my pad gets drenched. I've lately been using wipes and powder to help with this. I also press down hard with my hand when using my mouse, which obviously creates more friction. I've been trying to practice not pressing as hard, but I naturally do it.

 

Anyone have any suggestions? I suppose I need a pad that works well for someone who presses down hard when using their mouse, and also allows for easy movement without feeling "sticky" under these conditions. Thanks so much.

Get a hard mousemat rather than a soft one

While I agree that hard pads can help with smoothness, I have a better middle ground. Hard pads need to be cleaned often, and so does glass. So, to get the nice glide of glass and the ability to press into the surface, I recommend the Artisan https://www.amazon.com/ＡＲＴＩＳＡＮ-Gaming-mouse-Shiden-FXSKXSMB/dp/B07F5V7JVN Ninja FX Shidenkai. Yes, expensive, but worth it. Unlike normal glass pads, you can roll this up, and press into it.

Optical (death adder) wont track well on a hardpad especially if it has a glossy surface or flat surface that has no texture such as glass

 

I think there's something wrong with the mouse..i assume the mouse feet is about to wear out or something.

Thanks Django. That sounds like what I might need. It's actually not the mouse feet. The mouse is only a month old and the feet don't show any wear. 

 

I think it's really just getting caught in my cloth pad because I press so hard and have sweat in it.

I dont get...there's 2 type of hardpad...a hardpad with hard surface (not cloth)

Spoiler

 and with a cloth surface.

Spoiler

Now a hardpad with a cloth surface is just a clothpad..if that is what you are referring to then yes optical will track well on that..but if its the 1st one then it wont track well unless you're using a laser sensor.

Try steelseries DEX, best of both world. It's hybrid pad that got feel like cloth and easy to wash like hard pad
