Good gaming mouse mat?

[Hicks12]

Well I was hosting a lan yesturday and kinda got chocolate fudge brownie milkshake on my mouse mat!. Anyone care to recommend a good gaming mouse mat(low resistance) for £10-£15?(Must be a good sized area, not small). I currently had a cyber snipa "eye" microfibre mat which isnt useable lol.


edit: just been looking and is this http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/711/919...archtype=genre any good? Looking really for a very smooth non drag surface.

Can defin recommend the Ratzpad XT.

Works perfect with my G5

Its personal preference.

Don't like Ratzpad personally, but love Icemats

Reading some reviews the razer exact mat is better than the icemat, cheaper to. Currently thinking about the exactmat or the cyber snipa Aluminium or the glass version of cyber snipa

Aye yeap it's down to your personal tastes. I can't stand anything but a cloth mousemat and do like my Everglide Titan.

Well ive never tried any other surface to be honest so thought id try it, so far im going with the exact mat. Waiting for money to go through before buying though, any reasons why i shouldnt get the exact mat?.

Get out of this frame of mind - it simply isn't true.
Aesthetics are personal. I know some dam good gamers that play with a cloth mat, and wouldn't change.

There are only so many things you can 'measure' in a 'review' of a mouse mat, it's probably the least technical part of any set-up. It's entirely a personal thing.

Got a Razer eXactMat (or whatever it's called) and I love it. Been considering getting a cloth mat though.

Very true, i would think the icemat would be better but the thing is price and its about £25 for the SteelSeries Experience I-2 and the exact mat is £15. Is glass in general a good material then? Cause the cyber snipa one is £16 and uses acrylic glass and seems to be rated highly. Im just looking for the best around the £15 with low resistance really but the razer offers best of both and reliability.

i've been using a qpad for years, still in excellent condition and feels really good under. and its a decent size. about 4x bigger than the icemat i had! i did like the icemat though, but i found it wore out relatively quickly, as did the ratpad i had.

[Hicks12]

the icemat wore out?? I thought it was glass O.o?

[idimmu]

ah sorry, it wasnt an icemat. it was something else... dammit i cant remember! when i read icemat i presumed it was what i had. mine was orange and blue and flipped over for different surfaces. thats the one that wore out

edit: fUNc pad was it. amazing what google can do for you, "orange and blue gaming mouse pad" ^^

[Hicks12]

Lol. I dunno about the qpad, my mate has one and its not bad really but in about 2 weeks its already losing its colour and texture hence why im a bit reluctant to buy it and i also want to try something different.
I think ill go with the exact mat because i can use both sides etc.

[idimmu]

really? mines only slightly discoloured and thats after 2 years of use. maybe they dont make em like they used to!

i suppose its all about what your used to

I swear by Q-PAD, i have the 4mm version, they are a quality bit of kit .
