You can get a usb pass though on a mousepad, thats awesome why didnt i think of looking for something like that

Yeh, worth every penny and the surface is nice and smooth. Also having an extra USB port is wonderful XD

yeah thats what i was thinking as stuff like my controller has a short wire so that would be a great use and minimal effect on the desk space

Yeh it is very useful like that

And has nice rgb lighting around the perimeter

I thought tracking on glass was difficult for some mice

Only clear glass. Icemat was frosted with a backing on the opposite side.

I use a table, not needed a mouse mat since ball mice were a thing.

Yeah, rubbing balls on a table can result in far too much friction.

I use this mouse pad https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...olaris-mouse-pad-ch-9440020-eu-gs-017-cs.html
I use this mouse https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...pc-optical-gaming-mouse-yellow-kb-09e-cs.html
And I use this keyboard https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...klit-rgb-led-cherry-mx-brownuk-kb-09c-cs.html

They just work great together. As for the mouse pad which is what the question was, it is exceptionally good.

I use one of the OcUK 3XL mats - covers the whole desk perfectly, even with my keyboard on there's still plenty of room the mouse, and I use a very low sens.

Can I as what the surface is like? Is the cloth smooth? I had a Roccat Taito mouse mat and the surface was very 'snaggy' on my hands, more so in winter when my hands get rough with wet cold weather. Microfibres seem to be the worst for some reason. Thanks.

It is smooth, a little grippy to the skates though for static friction. I've never found it snaggy to the hands though.

Yes, the surface is super smooth on these - never had any issues with snagging at all.

Actually found it a bit too smooth/ slippery so went back to my QCK in the end - should be perfect for you I would imagine.

Great, thanks for that. It sounds just the job.
