What mouse pad do you use? If its a fancy one, do you think it affects your gaming or regular desktop use in comparison to a plain one or even none?

 

I have this plain old mouse pad from the 90s. I like it because it feels softer than most mouse pads today because its about 1/4" thick.

(I do not use this mouse. Obviously my PC doesn't have a Serial Port :| )

I'm wondering if there's some weird mouse pads out there...

Steelseries QCK

 

Helps me way more with control. My desk just feels way toooooo slidey and I much prefer the friction.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

I'm currently using one like the first one you posted (OP) but in black, I think it was $1.99 or something. Before that I was using a dual sided Razer eXactMatXspeed with the eXactMatXcontrol flip side, it is no better than the $1.99 mat other than being made of Aluminum and having a wrist cushy pad which I still use with the $1.99 pad. I was thinking of buying another fancy pad/mat but at this rate the $1.99 mat is kicking butt so why spend more, would like it to be bigger though (same size as the one you have in the first post).

 

Anyone can do their own comparison test and at $1.99 you can't complain you can't test the cheapo with anything fancy you might have now.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

I'm pretty sure those came with the Dell Dimension P4/Celeron computers. My school was full of them and they drove me nuts because the semi reflective surface made optical mice freak out.

Wondering if anyone still makes those thick mouse pads that Tr3vor has? Would gladly buy them especially for the nostalgia and the cheap price tag.

 

Forgot to say that I have a big random mouse pad, not even sure if it was marketted as a mouse pad but it works! Sorry I don't have anything to tke a pciture with ti but it's quite large, black smooths and foam "grip" on the bottom.

It did. The tower is still sitting here on the ground, actually, except it's not plugged in to anything.

Good :P so many people still use those for everything and they don't seem to realize how slow P4s are. I have one just for older games back in the early 2000s, but that's it.

Yeah, this Dimension hasn't been powered on in years. Still use another Dell Dimension with a P4 HT in it though. Threw Windows 7 on it... it sort of lags. :P

I got it because the rubber feet on my CM Quickfire Rapid, for lack of other words, suck. Having everything on one level and having a keyboard that doesn't move around is really nice. Sometimes I do wish it weren't so damn big though...

Corsair because fanboyism :P. And yes I do think that it does affect gaming performance. Not specifically this corsair mousepad but any gaming mousepad that allows for accurate tracking and uniform motion so that the mouse doesn't get "stuck" while moving it.
