Do you like it hard or soft?

............Mouse mats.

Go!

I've only ever used soft mouse mats, so i'm a little concerned to try the harder ones.

I use both and they're both fine. I'm tempted to convert to soft mat only though (mostly because they tend to require less effort to look after/wipe down).

Saying that, my soft mouse mat manages to get things stuck in between the tiny grooves. :mad:

I use a Razor Sphex which is more like a hard skin, its really good but I fancy that XFX warpad

This tbh, I've used both and don't mind either.

Currently using an age old Icymat that pulled out of storage recently. Is a bit of a pain keeping it clean compared to a cloth pad.

Soft. I find hard ones just end up warping over time.

LukasBB · 26 Oct 2011 at 11:58

soft, it feels more comfortable to me.

Will never go back to soft after getting a hard mat.

I smoke and drink when gaming so soft ones tend to get a bit grubby.

Thats my problem (apart from the smoking), but also the warping of the hard mats concern me.

currently using a roccat alumic hard mat, its great. I find it easier to clean than my soft mats, a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth and its good as new.

Have tried several mice with it (mx518, logitech G7, razer naga, razer naga epic elite) and they all track flawlessly on it

Was just looking at the review posted on the OCUK site, the guy says its "warp proof" essentially due to the thickness of the aluminium.

Is that true? Does it feel sturdy?

Hard, like my...

Razer Vespula.

Boogie Bug

pingu666 · 26 Oct 2011 at 12:15

my find never warped, but my B.A.se did
I wanna copy that warped with a huge motherland :-O
my func and raptad took a ton of abuse and are fine. Easy to clean too

sammo62 · 26 Oct 2011 at 12:16

I would've said hard until I got the BoogieBug mat with my Deathadder. Love that thing.

wildman · 26 Oct 2011 at 12:20

i still use my trusty Quake 3 edition everglide, its hard like chuck norris

kayomani · 26 Oct 2011 at 12:20

I have always been a fan of soft ones although I have had both. My BoogieBug mat is starting to come apart at the edges mind =(

Razer Destructor - Hard

Soft, I prefer cloth mats though I haven't had the benefit of trying many comparisons.
