Gaming Surfaces (Mouse Mats to us commoners)...

The boogie if it was normal size would be considered an average mouse matt yes. The only reason its popular is that it covers ur desk really.

Thanks.

What would one choose for a large "decent" mouse mat?

^^ Everglide Titan/Razer Goliathus/Qpad CT

I've tried the: Steelseries QcK+ Gaming Mouse Pad - I thought that was really good, and it's big.

I use one of these, get if you're a low sens player as you can never run your mouse off the edge

I'd never go back to a hard mat after this tbh, I loves it.

Wizzfizz · 25 Feb 2011 at 12:49

I'm thinking of buying one as I use low sense in Quake so will be perfect for hit scan weapons. My Allsop is on it's last legs so to speak, it's done me well though!

Other good thing about the QCK is that they're about £10 (ie damn cheap) and I've had mine for nearly a year with no signs of wear or damage or anything. My Exact mat on the other hand in 6 months had ripped the feet off my mouse and then 2 of the rubber feet fell off, and that was £35...

I use a steelseries hard mat and I think it's great, doesnt slip on the desk and the mouse surface is nice and slippy

Ice mat or steal series as Icemat is no more

Puretrak Talent if you want the absolute best cloth pad

Corepad C1 large here, awesome with my DA Respawn.

Icemat Black Glass :cool:

Just realised they don't exist anymore! Mine's still going strong. Can you still get glass mousemats?

domthecondom · 25 Feb 2011 at 17:13

Well my Steelseries is not quite glass but Icemat black glass is the daddy

i got it somewhere in the atttic

just the size annoyes me

I used to use the Steelseries S&S solo hard mat, but my new mouse (razer imperator) doesnt like it and wont track properly on it, which is a shame as it is really good for gliding accross fast and smooth.

I now have a cloth steelseries QcK mat, my mouse now works properly so im happy with it. The mouse doesnt glide quite as quickly, but tbh its cloth so i cannot expect it too ;P

I get the impression the Boogie Pad is at best, average and if it was normal size, would be considered an average at best mouse mat?

I think the surface on my QPad was better than the Boogie bug, but I wouldn't say the Boogie bug is average. It's far nicer than that the Razer Goliathus I had.

CaptainRAVE · 25 Feb 2011 at 19:36

Use the Razer exactmat here - wouldnt want anything else

nitram100 · 25 Feb 2011 at 20:09

Coolermaster H2, smooth as silk with no resistance whatsoever. I threw my Steelseries Qck Mini in the bin it was like running my mouse on sandpaper.

Ordered. Will see how it goes.

EDIT:

Just measured it, it is HUGE.

JimAroo · 25 Feb 2011 at 20:43

Having used both hard and soft i can safely say i prefer soft.

I just didn't like hard surfaces because they wore away the feet on my mouse, plus whenever you get a hair or anything under your mouse it feels like your using a pebble as a mouse mat.

Received it not long ago.

It is mightily big, obviously, after just using a desk for soo long, there is a lot more friction.

I also need some pads for my Logitech G9, any ideas where to get these from?

EDIT 2:

The Boogie pad as gone up £2 since yesterday.
