mousemat for optical mouse?

[Cyber-Mav]

hi all, just 5 mins ago i switched over to a microsoft optical wheel mouse, my old mouse was a microsoft ball wheel mouse.

my old mousemat has a lot of different colours in it and the optical mouse is a bit funny on the mat, the mouse on the blue table i have seems to be working fine.

question is whats the best colour mousemat to get for an optical mouse? i have been told to avoid red at all costs since it causes problems.

cool, im just after a cheapo mat that is under 5 quid and will last long and provide the best for the optical mouse.

so black is the best colour to get? will black mat give me no wobbily movement etc?

ahh cool, i have seen a raptor p1 mousemat:

can get this mat for 10 quid. was wondering if anyone has used it before with a non raptor mouse and if it works well?
