Need replacement for SteelSeries 5L mousepad

[Rock_Lobstah]

So my old SteelSeries 5L pad, http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/steelseries_steelpad_5l/, is starting to show its age. Can't believe this thing lasted me so long, bought it back in 2005 or 2006. Anyway, I can't find it anymore, obviously discontinued and its former replacement, the 5C, has also gone the way of the dino.

Any suggestions?

The Corsair MM400 is really good if you want a really low friction mat.

Unfortunately I use a Mx518, soon to be G400s, and I read Logitech mice don't like Corsair pads, something about the feet and pad friction.

Has anyone here used the SteelSeries 5L and the 9HD? How do they compare?

I never heard that before and it sounds pretty ridiculous. I'm using a Logitech G700s and it works great with it.

I use the Steelseries QcK+ had the S&S first and loved the change to cloth.

The size is really comfortable because i never have to worry about the mouse leaving the pad since i play with low sensitivity.

There is a QcK+ Heavy if you want a thicker pad more similar to 5L.

SS 5L = 5MM thick.
QcK + = 2MM thick.
QcK + Heavy = 6MM thick.

Another vote for the QcK..I bought one on a whim (in WalMart no less!) and it has been a great pad..I have never been a huge cloth pad fan, but this one works pretty well..I don't know how often others wash theirs, but I tend to wash mine every 4 months or so, so I use it so heavily and it will absorb oils from your hand/wrist/arm and dust etc..
