Gaming Mousepad Question

weescott · 14 Dec 2007 at 12:59

This question is from a friend:

I bought a Razer Lachesis mouse, and I've found my Ratpadz XT mouse pad to be inadequate for it - It's jerky and ******. Could someone who's got a Lachesis recommend a decent mousepad for it?

Thanks

Depends on your preference mate - do you like hard or cloth mats?

Hi,

Hard mats.

Been reading some reviews XS reviews. Not made my mind up myself, but looking at cheapest options. Maybe the Ideazon Fragmat is an option. Not rigid, but not a cloth surface from what I can tell.

I had the same problem with that mouse and a exactmat. I've ordered a Steelpad 5L. Currently not using a pad though, just on the desk works fine.

I got a steelpad and its awsome wiht my G9.

They are both laser mice, so it should work well with it.

Func 1030, oldschool

cant beat a func!
Used one for a while until I changed to my Qck+

Still using a Func here

I think it's about 5 years old now.

I have a Func kicking about somewhere, but I've been using an Icemat for years now.

Goes well with my G9.

Wore my Func 1030 out. Now use the Func Archetype. Lovely jubbly

I had the exactmat but the Lachesis was unusable on it.

Thanks for the replies people.

The Steelpad 5L is better than the Ratpads XT but still not great.

Perhaps its a driver issue? He is using Linux and the driver CD only has Windows Drivers.

Ordered a Func 1030 from ebay last week, brand new (doesn't have the oldschool case but who cares, already got one

) and only 11 pounds inc. vat excl. shipping cost.

I'm reviving this thread because I figured by now, someone ought to have tested out a few pads and found a suitable replacement for my friend.

Any more suggesions?

Thanks
