Same here... Didn't really see the point.

Is it worth it?

I said before that I didn't use a mouse mat for many years about 4 - 5. Never thought I needed to at all, until I went playing cod4 at lans in competitions on some horribly grainy wood and broken pieces, a mat came in handy. Since then I have realised it is better because of the consistency of the surface. A desk might be ok for your day to day jobs but in games, it's serious business, remember the Quake 3 days when rail gun had to be bang on. Welcome to the Quake Live days where not a lot has changed

Make sure you post a picture of your boogie bug with your setup! I may have a prize for the best one

Sometime towards the end of this week, early next week. On one now actually

I cant decide, the BB is too big but still very tempting! Would it be a crime if i cut it down a little?!??!

HeatoN's look great, its the perfect size and i love my hard SS SX.....

Hmmm....

I see no reason why you couldn't cut it down. But the comparison is the heatoN is hard top with the hybratek coating. My xai glides over nicely, I have not actaully tried the Boogie Bug but im sure plenty of these people have for opinions

Will be getting a G15 next month though so you can have those on special offer then if you like

or at least put them back down to £55 like they were when I was going to get one before xmas... not got a chance in hell of getting one at £80!!

thinking i might be tempted into buying a mouse mat any suggestions for the MX518

and i dont want to pay £25 for a mouse mat.

robj20 · 19 Jan 2011 at 09:06

I game on my bed, dinova keyboard on my lap, and a mx revolution on an old haynes manual.

andicole0 · 19 Jan 2011 at 09:16

I've been using an Icemat for years, very impressed and it has outlasted at least three 'normal' mats on my 'work' PC.

Boogie Bug Meter mouse mat for £11.99 or a smaller Qpad mouse mat

V_R · 19 Jan 2011 at 09:30

Well..... I ordered a BB last night. Valkia, i blame you and your price cut.

It may well be too big, but for hte price i cant not get one.

Will probs be ordering the HeatoN too.

Grey M@a · 19 Jan 2011 at 09:30

When that boogie bug came up for £11.99, it was a no brainer, mine should arrive today, currently using a SteelSeries QTK mini just for the mouse but with the new keyboard it slides all over the table so got one of these.
