I'll post this here instead of making a new thread. But for the Razer Deathadder which is an infrared mouse, what would you reccomend for a mouse mat? I was looking at the Razer Mantis etc but they have control and speed mats and I've always played with just a normal mouse mat so I wouldn't know which one, so is there a mouse mat with both?

BEST Gaming Mouse mat?

I've used both a Steelpad 5L, ICEMat V2 and an Exact Mat with my mX-518 and the steelpad is my fav so far.
ICEMat was better for precision for me when I kept it clean and had teflon feet on my mouse, but once I ran out of teflon it lost all of it's good feel, plus its not really big enough.

oh and also theres no such thing as 'best' mousepad different people will have different opinions and different preferences...some people may prefer cloth others might think plastic is better...you just need to look what you want cloth or plastic? and the what kinda sensitivity you use to determine size..and what you think looks nice etc. etc.
im sure youve noticed people have recommended at least 6-7 different types of mousepads which i doubt has helped you reach a conclusion..its all down to preference really..if youre paying for a 'gaming' mousepad then theres really no bad choice since theyre all more or less the same..

I agree mate, you can listen to other peoples opinions on particular brands or mouse mat types. Again their interpretation may well be different to yours. If you are unsure of a hard surfaced mat or a cloth one, get down to a local PC superstore to have a touchy feely session, so to speak. It is something you will have to conclude yourself. I have found just taking the plunge the best bet.
I 'personally' prefer a cloth mouse as I feel when my hands don't get as sweaty. With hard plastic mats I tend to get this. Specifically in the summer.
Plus I feel the mouse glides better over the surface, at a speed I like .I use the Razer copperhead + Razer Mantis Speed and I would say it suits my gaming needs. I play mainly FPS, BF2142, Ravenshield Series. It is an oversized mat. Which you have to be wary of if you have a small desk.
Again my preference dictates a little resistance from a gaming surface.
Whatever mouse mat type you go for you will eventually end up adapting your hand movements to. I used a ball mouse with my table top for years.

Icemat 2nd Edition and a lefthand logitech media mouse for me. Works lovely and I especially love the low-friction movement.
Sounds foul when a bit of sand (theres lots in my house) gets under a teflon foot though, nails on chalkboard jobby.

The new firmware 1.2 for the Logitech G5 should make all the common brands of mousemats compatable including the Icemat series.Chris19 said:Sorry for pinching this bit of the thread but thanks to this i may actully be able to use my G5 + Blue ice mat (Does it work with a blue one?). Not been able to use it for a year and dont know where it is at the momment but it makes a good change from this.
