I've been looking at gaming mousepads for a while now, but since there are so many and I have problems making decisions (OCD), I never bought one. Right now I'm using a little yellow notepad as my mousepad but it's so darn small. Do you guys have any suggestions or comments as to what mousepad you think I should get?
 
I've been thru a ridiculous amount of mouse pads, the Func mouse pad was a bit pricey but considering it's lasted me much longer than any other mouse pad i've ever used, it was definately worth it.

I used to play quake1/3 competitively, then switched to competitive cs.
Now I run my online store and only play from time to time, I've had this mouse pad for 1 year now (and i used to change mouse pads every 2-3 months beforehand) so it's highly recommended.
 
Ratpadz GS, cant say enough good things about it. Durable, not too big, and tracks both optical and laser mice well
 
razor exactmat, i got mine free but i've been using it since june and its an excelent mat paired with my razor mouse. It has an ultra smooth side and a bumpy side kinda like a teflon skillet. My mouse just glides over it like its on air.

First off, there is no such thing as a mouse pad that is too big. I guess I'll be going with the Func F30.R then, I hope you guys are right. :)
 
Have been using an older Func pad for a while, love it. Have the 11"x14" version of the F30 on its way!
 
Having been through two RatPadz GS mouse pads I can confidently assert that you DO NOT want one. True - when new, they are the most slippery surface you could ever ask for, but they do not last for long. Not only does the surface wear out on the pad, causing high friction, but they alsoi wear out the feet of the mouse. Let me tell you it is almost impossible to get replacement mouse feet, and once the non-slip pads are worn, it's toasted for just about any mousepad.

If you are going to buy a GS pad, then make sure you get a supply of mouse feet before doing so, and replace the very expensive pad at least every 3 months.

My current favourite pad is the Everglide Titan. Is it a monster. Comes in its own metal tube (what a wank that is!) but it is a thin, neoprene-based item that is very good to use for all purposes. It does not wear out quickly, does not wear out the feet of your mouse, is soft on your hand (and your mouse) and sticks to any smooth surface like shit-to-a-blanket.

Over all, the Titan is a more user friendly option for gaming mouse pads I feel. You certainly won't ever think it is too small: it makes the RatPadz GS look like a tiny little thing.

Oh - no offense intended to Kyle: The GS pad IS outstanding, it just wears out too fast.
 
I'd recommend the Steelpad S&S if you want the best, but the Func pads are awesome for the money.
 
Func 1030 is the older and smaller version of the F.30. Much better to get the newer.\

Try getting a logitech wheelman Track Ball, it has the functions of a mouse but it never moves,i got one and its the best thing i think I ever Got :p but seriously i played doom3 with it and i mean its awesome, the first day or 2 is a little strange but within a week you will never use a regular mouse again
 
*Looks over at his 6 year old 99 cent CompUSSR cloth/foam mousepad with enough stains to tell it's own history*

Off-topic - own-age once got 99.9% rail accuracy in Quake 3 with a trackball. ;)
