Good mousepad? Opinions please!

[Tengis]

Im looking for a good mousepad, please pick one from the poll and then post with what you have. I lost my Ratpadz GS when I was moving down here to Texas... I loved it at first but the texture wore away after a month or two... =/.

Anyway... I put the GS, Func, and Steelpad into the poll simply because they seem to be the "biggest names" in mousepads.

Edit: Forgot to mention... put down what model of the pad you have. There seem to be different models (different textures maybe?) of the funcpad and steelpad. Anyone know if the differences of the more expensive ones are worth it? Thanks!

I use me a func pad that needs to be cleaned

The new fUnc Archetype is a great pad. I just bought one.

i have an original func surface 1030, still works great. I especially like it because it is very thin in height compared to most of the harder plastic pads. ive had it for prolly 2 or 3 years now and it isnt worn out.

love all my func pads...especially the 1030...

fUnc 1030. Had it for about 9 months or so. Great pad and it only cost $20.

If you don't mind a small pad then the Func1030 is one of the best. However, if you want something with tons of room get the Func Fseries F30 model. I have a logitech G7 on the 11x17 F30.s model, and I love it. There are a few different Func models to choose from. Check em out here.

Cloth pad with an almost completely faded picture of Marvin the Martian. Had that one for...five?...six? years.

I've had my ratpad GS here for a couple years now. once in a while I'll go grab the can of pledge and wipe it down nice and smooth.

I'm using the bansheepad. Much like the steelpad, but larger. Good pad in my opinion, although it isn't cheap.

Ratpadz GS love it
Funcpad that was "free" from an alienware I bought three years ago (before I started building) I like it too
Got a cheeeeep cloth one with a picture of Mozart (250th Birthday today!!) free from WCNY for being a member......works ok too.

hmmm I'm using a Global Gaming League mousepad... can't describe it well, other than it's kinda large, smooth(not for ball mice), and overall works pretty well with my MX 518.

Here is a message for the mods to pass on to whoever it may be that does this:

The Ratpadz GS... is there going to be any type of revision to make it compete even better with currently available pads? I loved my Ratpadz GS until the texture wore away, then it was nothing more than a shiny cutting board.

The cutting board... that reminds me of a review of the Ratpadz where someone was sent one and then was told they had to pay for it... the review was quite hilarious. They had food on it as a plate, they put ice on it and said the pad overclocked well...

I love my Xtrac Hybrid. I would get any large cloth pad. Those are my favorite. Steelpad makes one to.

Two things you might try:

1) The keyboard/mouse/mouse surface thread lovingly compiled by Rich Tate over in the Gaming & Gaming Equipment forum (it's in the FAQ at the top of the forum)
2) Posting this in the Gaming & Gaming Equipment forum.

Just some suggestions since we get a lot of these threads there. But I know not everyone knows about it... or about Rich Tate's thread. I'd guess you'd get a lot more input there.
