mousepad without static friction?

[krass76]

Hello,

I was recently looking into mouse pad reviews and rarely do I see/read about static friction.
I've got a Corsair M45, love the mouse itself BUT what annoys me is that it takes a certain amount of force to start the movement but then it moves by much more than a pixel, so the static friction is what gives me trouble. This makes things like headshots very hard. While moving the mouse the precision is fine though.
 

Can any of you recommend a mouse pad that does have little static friction?

well if you want as little static friction as possible you should go with a completely flat surface, such as a desk, or a piece of paper/wood

I'm using my desk right now. White, kinda rough surface on my IKEA desk.
So, completely flat, got that, thank you.
But more specifically?

hard mousepad, ideally a metal surface one

 

edit: if I understand you correctly, you're bothered that you need more force to move the mouse from a standstill, compared to when it's already moving?

aren't they rather cold?

You can look at a metal or plastic mousepad. Don't go for any cloth in any case if this annoys you.

any suggestions on what to buy at about lettersize (not the entire desk)?

If you want to avoid static friction you're going to want to move to a different universe. OR fins a mouse that weighs nothing.
