Looking for a Gaming Surface (Small)

Jase · 13 Oct 2008 at 14:00

Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good gaming surface with a width of ideally 25cm. I really like the look of the Roccat Sense Mat Gaming Surface but it's just too big (Limited desk space). I could possibly move things around a bit to exceed the 25cm but not much maybe 28/30 cm.

If it helps the mouse I'm using is the Roccat Kone Gaming Mouse.

Cheers

OK, ill bite. What the heck is a gaming surface? A mouse mat?

A mouse mat designed for games yes.

i just bought one of these steel series pads for use with my habu.

I always seen these threads for spec me a mousepad etc and thought some people have too much money to spend 30 odd quid on a mousemat.

I have to admit to being well mistaken, if you have a high sensitivity mouse a decent pad makes such a difference in gaming and general usage.

I was just using the mouse on the desk surface before, now its sitting on the steelseries pad it literally is like its sitting on air, one tap on the side of the mouse and it will slide right across the pad effortlessley

And it looks like a 25cm version is available.. unless any other recomendations arrive I'll pick up one of those.

If you can find one, a func 1030 original. Superb mouse mat

I use a Sharktoon 1337, bigger than the average mouse mat, and cheap as chips

How about just the desk?

I use an Everglide Titan at home, can't say I've ever had any issues... it's on the large side though.

Pretty sure OcUK now stock the Titan "MiniMat" which is a little smaller, might be a bit bigger than what you're after though.

Get a QCK Mini or a Titan Minimat.

Razer Goliathus Omega Speed. I've got one and its pretty small and my desk is pretty 'space challenged'

You missed the "no more than 25cm" then? That thing is about 35cm x 25cm, still a little too big for him surely?

Cloth mat + scissors = win? :confused:

Teflon baking sheet. Costs about 3 quid, last forever, works perfectly, cut to required size

Thanks for all of the replies guys, just ordered a a Razer Goliathus Omega (thought it looked good) and as I needed to change another at some stage also ordered a SteelSeries QcK.

me too

its a great little mouse mat for a cramped desk

my lachesis feels great on it
i prefer a smaller mat with a higher sensitivity and it works great for me as a combo

Good choice.

I upgraded from using the 'my desk' option to the Everglide Titan, also had about 250mm to spare on my desk, but i just rotated it longwards. Sooo much more smoother
