My logitech MX something or other just doesn't glide on the wooden desk I'm using atm. Stick my fUNC mousemat underneath, and it's smooth. Playing UT3 these days and there was a noticable difference.

My desk is a cheap one that the landlord provided when we moved in, if i had no mouse surface i would be using a perforated metal desk surface!?
My Desk it reflective and my Laser mouse needs a matt.

Exactmat !
I have a Habu & Icemat combo myself, merely personal pref. At work too I use a mat, mainly due to the crappyness of my desk & the noise the mouse makes. Working on CAD most of the time it sees a lot of action.
My desk is a homebrew desk - think a kitchen worktop with a cupboard underneath and you get the idea
Tesco Polish is all I use to make the surface ultra glidey for when I need to pwn n00bs with my 180 degree jumping headshots.
MX1000 & Icemat v2 combo here - I have yet to find anything I prefer (so much so, I've got 2 MX1000s)
Laser mice are actually pretty crap at tracking on anything other than a decent mat.
I bought a SteelSeries mouse mat to use with my MX518 and to be honest i've noticed bugger all difference. Perhaps a laser mouse is more discerning but optical mice basically work on anything.
Armrest FTW!
At home i use a MS Trackball, the laptops touchpad or the screen in tablet mode.
At work i just use the desk.
There is nothing worse than using someone elses desk and they have a horrible cheap, curled, ripped, dirty, pathetic, useless mouse mat.
It's almost as bad as when they have several millimetres of mouse-crud on the bottom of it and round the ball rollers. And they wonder why their mouse is unresponsive

I love my slidey-cool icemat.
