So, I'm currently debating between getting the Razer eXactmat and the fUnc 1030....but it seems to slightly be a tossup...

Can anyone give any comparative recommendations or general info?

Thanks!

Have you ever used the fUnc?

I replaced my 1030 with an eXactmat. I like both, but I think the eXactmat will last longer; it's also a tad larger...... :)
 
I haven't used the eXactmat, but the func1030 is great, very durable, dual sided and newegg sells'em cheap. I use MX518 on mine and it's a good thing.
 
I think the fUnc isn't as textured even when comparing to the eXactmat smooth side. However if you want it a little larger and more durable the eXactmat definately has it's advantages.

I think I'm done with HS after the death of my Banshee (I hate you Atomic Bolts, you and your Turtle Wax suggestion). Now I'm going with an Xtrac Ripper XL....

In fact, if you want the smoothest pad and don't care for transportability the Xtrac Hammer is good. Or if you are into LANs you could give the Hybrid a try also...and it's said they are some of the largest pads you will find too ^_-
 
I went from Func1030 to corepad to Exactmat.

I really loved my Corepad but when I bought my Diamondback I got 0 friction so it wasn´t very good anymore. I had perfect friction with my previous intellimouse 4 and the MX510. For those mices the corepad is just as good as the Exactmat.

My Func1030 did show wear quite quickly. And the Exactmat I can´t see how it could possibly wear down. Glass pads like Corepad will never ever wear down.

So if you have a Diamondback definiatly go with the Exactmat if you have a MX518, MX510 (same really) or Intellimouse 4 you can save money to go for the Corepad. If you want something bigger there is the Magna model.

But the best mouse/mousepad combination is really the diamondback/Exactmat it´s pure sex. They are really built for eachother.
 
Got an exactmat here. Great pad, love the cool temp of the aluminum...

Hopefully not to cool to cause condensation, had that problem with the Bansheepad ^_-
 
Get a Steel Pad S&S. I have a func MBA 1030 LE, and the Steel is far better.

The S&S is hands down the best mouse pad, very smooth and accurate.
 
Unfortunately, any place that has the exactmat at a "good" price under $30, hopefully around $25) online is sold out. Guess I'm looking at about $35 then...

Dang slightly OT, but I that Diamondback Plasma looks ultra nice.

All my friends make fun of me for using my light-weight MS Wheel Mouse Optical, but it seems that the Plasma LE my finally be making claims to dethroning my Wheel Mouse.

For the Diamondback users out there...how do these two compare in weight? If the Diamondback is anywhere close to as heavy as Logitech MX-series (310, 500/510) then it won't be worth my time.

i dunno how heavy that logitech is, but the razer is not heavy at all. and, the pointer flies around the screen, even if you have it set at the lowest speed setting.

Dang, I wish there was a B&M store where I could try this out in person first.

I mean, I bought/returned the MX310/510 after finding out how heavy/imbalanced they were in comparison to my Wheel Mouse Optical. If there is one thing that is important, it's being able to lift the mouse with my thumb/ring finger.

With the MX510, it was geared towards a thumb that rested on the bottom...while I prefer a more aggresive hold; I hold the mouse lightly between my thumb/ring finger, so that is why it is so crucial that I have a mouse that is light. If you make a "petting" motion on your mouse, that is basically as my grasp on the mouse.

I can't stand MX1000 or similar mice that "force" you to have a passive stance on the mouse.
 
Does anyone find razer mice EXTREMELY uncomfortable to hold?
I tried Diamondback for about a day and had to return it.
 
I JUST now realized that I misspelled the title....should be 1030, not 1010...heh.
