Which Gaming Mouse Mat ?....

dread base · 7 Mar 2006 at 01:44

Hello all,

I have around £50 to spend on some things from OCUK I have decided to spend around £10 on some mods. And im thinking of buying a joystick for Battlefield 2 is it worth getting one for flying planes if so which is a good one. I was thinking of getting the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick (GC-002-LG) Seems good has the same sort of design as the Wireless version. I also want a good mouse mat for my mouse which is a Logitech MX518 Gaming Grade Mouse. I always have it at 1600DPI in games with the windows mouse sensitivity on high and the in game mouse sensitivity set on low. I have around £40 to spend on both a Mouse mat and a Joystick.

Thanks.

The best gaming mouse pad by far and Ive tested them all has to be the S@S Steel Pad , very nice mat , great size and use the mouse surfers provided you cant go wrong , good price too .

Steelpad S&S Mouse Pad (GS-006-IC)

Price: £12.50

I second that. I use it with my MX510 (same body as MX518) and it works very nicely. You'll find that many people on here will recommend it. As said above, you can't go wrong for the price.

Black Icemat here with my MX518. Wouldn't swap it for anything else (and ive tried the steelpad ss, everglide titan, and various other "normal" mats).

Thanks Guys, Any ideas for the joystick is it worth it for Battlefield 2 or is the the mouse and key board better. Does the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick (GC-002-LG) work with Battlefield 2 ?.... lol.

Which mat are you going for ?

Yh that joystick should work

TBH I wouldnt bother getting a joystick to fly the planes with, unless you fly them a hell of a lot.

i had been using both(icemat+s&s).
Icemat was getting dirty VERY easily,the paint below the class was getting off(the mousepad was looking good after this) and it produces a disturbing sound when using it.Not to mention the price
Trust me,steelpad s&s is better.

Seem like its the Steal Pad I will get. I might as well get the joystick if i have the money for one i normally do fly planes when im playing with my clan on a Battlefield 2 server.

I just ordered the Steel Pad S+S

Im going to use it with my MX 1000 Laser Mouse, apparantly there have been reports of it not liking this mouse lol,

But i just read a review where the MX 1000 is used on the S+S , and they had no such problem

TaKeN · 7 Mar 2006 at 16:14

Best mousemat i've had, used the Icemat too.

So is the top Surface a smooth Plastic ?

Or cloth..

Im still unsure lol

TaKeN · 9 Mar 2006 at 09:44

Ok so its a plastic top

My mat arrived yesterday btw lol..

It felt a little grainy and low quality at first..

So i added the pad surfers which were included , and it felt a bit better.

Now ive got slightly used to the mat, im finding mouse control a lot better..

The grainyness of the mat tends to help, not hinder

Awp'ing people in css became a doddle last night

EDIT : This might sound odd. But does anyone here Polish their mat ??

Would it happen to be a Pro Gaming Envelope By any chance ?

They were selling them down at the local post office

steelmat and mx510 bundle are bloody awesome, cost me £33 or so including delivery and its smooth as hell (play a lot of bf2/css). nice texture on the mat too (and its bloody massive!)
