A question on deskmats as part of group buys

[directheatedtriode]

How are these for gaming? I have been out of PC gaming for about 10 years due to school/residency/fellowship but will be about to start a career with a nice cush lifestyle so I really want to get back into it. I was particularly fond of FPS back in the day. Fond memories of my high school friend and I tying up our parents' landline playing CS 1.4 and 1.5 

Back then all the rage was very slippery mouse pads like uh... RatPadz and another brand I am forgetting the name of. I spoke to a friend that plays CS GO and he tells me you want cloth which is what these group buy deskmats are and some of them have some nice designs! So I figured I would ask to the community to see what they thought.

Logitech says BLACK uniform surface is best. 

That's all you need to know to FRAG HARDER..

all black will theoretically track better but you can use a deskmat just fine, they're basically just really big mousepad as far as surface is concerned.

These are most likely not for gaming, but make your desk look cool.

My 5 buck mousepad works like a charm and combined with the aim of g203 beats all other players in the field.
