Need Mousepad & Mouse

[Rexchaos]

Hello linustechtips,

 

I'm looking for a standard sized mousepad that would not show stain or scratches from daily use. I am open to suggestions, not only standard sized and perhaps the longer ones where you could put both your keyboard and mouse on it. For reference I am using a Corsair K65.

 

I would also require opinion on a gaming mice. I am currently using a aged Razer Abyssus which has lasted me a considerate amount of time. I am looking for a mouse around that size and I use "palm grip".

 

The games I currently play but not limited to is Dota2, League of Legends and Cs go.

If you're a csgo player, are you sure you want a mousepad that also covers the keyboard? i would think that would imbalance your keyboard if you are the kind of player that turns it. I personally use a steelseries mousepad. It hasn't gathered any stais or anything in the time ive used it, but then again I try not to stain it. Its fully black, though, so I have to wipe it down. RECOMMENDED

 

For a mouse, if you're already using razer, stick with razer. You could always go offbrand like me for cheap. Otherwise steelseries or logitech. hop out to a store and see the samples if you can.

For a mouse pad that covers the keyboard its just more for ascetics. Is there any one from steel series that you recommend?

Also I'm using a Razer but I'm honestly sick of their poor quality control. I'm looking at mouses like Zowie FK-2 and all but haven't really decided one for sure yet.

This exists but it's hella expensive, idk if there are cheaper deals elsewhere

Not a csgo player, but I do have an extended mousepad. There is zero issues with having the keyboard kinda sitting there while gaming.

Any suggestions or recommendations for your extended mouse or gaming mouse?

My own personal set up is the Corsair MM300 mousepad and the Corsair Sabre RGB mouse. The mouse was on sale last easter, but it's a nice fairly inexpensive gaming mouse.

Check out Reflex Labs mousepads: https://www.reflexlab.net/

 

I first saw one in a reddit post, and I'll probably buy one next time I need a mousepad. They're thick like the QCK Heavy I currently use, but also have stitched edges to prevent fraying.

 

As for a mouse, I'm currently using the Logitech G Pro. Hands down best sensor on a mouse I've ever used, I highly recommend it if you're getting into CS.

I will definitely check out the mousepads from Reflex Labs. It looks highly clean and very reasonable price. 

 

As for the mouse, I have heard great things about it and will think about it. But how does it fare against the Zowie FK1 or FK2?

The zowie trend from pro gamers I's there, its okay but I'm sure a revised versions will come out soon. G pro has imo a better sensor but I've never used it so idk the eargonomics

If you want a serious mousepad, check out artisan. If you're after something more cost efficient, Steelseries Qck is a really solid mat.
