New mouse and mouse pad

[GHOSTWARRIOR117]

should i go with a mouse pad from the manufacturer of the mouse or is getting any mouse pad better?

I am going with the Func MS-3² mouse

Surface material and build matter more than manufacturer.

 

It should be noted that laser sensors are far more finicky and depend on more uniform or rigid surfaces to perform optimally than optical sensors, which is why they perform well on some surfaces and suboptimally on others. Generally speaking for these sensors, tracking on cloth pads is considered poorer while hard pads are considered more optimal, though this is not universally true (many factors can play a role such as a mousepads surface/textural uniformity, rigidity and top layer construction, as well as a mouse's sensor and lens implementation, firmware, and build quality). For example, the G9x's malfunction rate is significantly lowered, along with occasional acceleration and jitter problems when on a number of cloth pads which is why hard pads are usually suggested for this mouse and other mice with the ADNS-9500 sensor.

i would think that the manufacturer would optimised the mouse pad for that mouse am i correct?

Perhaps, it's certainly a safe bet that it'll work well with their own mice. My SteelSeries mouse pad has a better surface rating than the Mionix pads offer (mouse is Mionix). I'd look for something that works well with your sensor, if you want to look. If not, can't go wrong with a matching set.
