Glidiest Mouse Mat?

darkxenon · 7 Oct 2008 at 12:11

Hey, as the title says, looking for the Glidiest (If thats a word) mouse mat. Have a Deathadder, any buget (within reason).

Many thanks

A boggo cloth mat.
With a " mist" of Back to Black once in a while

if you have a deathadder and you want glide dont go cloth! go for a razor exact mat and use the shiny side!

edit: and buy some skates!

The most frictionless mouse pad is the ice mat here's a couple of hard mouse mats in order of the least friction

Icemat
SX
SP
S&S
destructor

ice mat is awful (the sound of it scraping when you move the mouse!) and too small for a glidy mat plus it has a bit more friction due to the cloudyness of the glass. It gets really diry after a while too.

Any of the steelseries listed above and the razor exact mat (which i recommend) would be fine.

I bought one of those Sharkoon ones, they're cloth, cheap and very very good. they're pretty big too, like 14"x10" or some shiz.
Be pushed to find a better matt under £15 and they only cost a fiver!

I agree with the first bit, but glidy = frictionless regardless of size.

Alienwars gaming mouse mat is pretty darn glidy. Sometimes the wind blows my mouse off the mat its so smooth.

That's cloth so friction is going to be relatively high.

I've got a Steelpad and with a squirt of polish every so often it's effortless.

Bang some teflon tape on the bottom of the mouse and it's better, but still not great.
