Does anyone make an oversize mouse mat that's good for gaming? Something like this.

I currently use a SteelSeries 4HD and love it but it's just a little on the small size and would ideally like one to go under my keyboard too (gives me plenty of mouse space for CAD). The main advantage to me of the SteelSeries is the smoothness of the surface as the mouse seems to just glide along, if I push it lightly without holding it it'll gladly just slide along the whole mat.
I know the 9HD is bigger but for things like CAD and photo editing I'd really benefit from pushing the keyboard to one side and having a wealth of mat to work with.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

+1 for the boogie bug, i prefer to call it a desk carpet as its massive.

I too have one of the above and its awesome, so good I've ordered another 2 to keep as spares!
 
What's it like for gaming and how smooth is the glide?
I've used hard mouse mats for the last about 7 years and would ideally like something with a similar feel. I'm guessing however that for a mat this size a hard surface mat probably doesn't exist.
 
Ive found it to be excellent with my logitech g500 mouse, i play a lot of bfbc2, which is a pretty fast paced game, the mouse glides over it very well.
 
Can anyone offer comparison against either a hard pad or this?
I know the Razer is a lot more expensive but, "the full-scale speed, acceleration and razor-sharp responsiveness of hard mats" is leaning me towards it as I really do love the glide obtained on a hard mat.

EDIT: Ordered one anyway, for a tenner I may as well give it a try.

Don't listen to any of this "ultra-speed awesome super mat" stuff they try and pull on you, 99% of the time it's something they've made up to make it sound more attractive.

At £35 you could make your own hard mouse mat. I've ordered the Boogie and at £10 you can't go wrong; good decision. ^^
