Title: which mouse pad?
Post by: FinancialWar on Sun, 19 June 2011, 05:45:50
Hi, would like a recommendation for a daily mouse pad (non gaming) for my Logitech G700 and deathadder.
Thanks.

Anything works if you're not gaming.
Maybe look into deskpads like the XXL Xtrac Ripper

Piss on you!
(Romanian joke - when they say "piss" it sounds like "peace".)
So if you say "peace" to a Romanian they will say "Oh yea? piss on you too!"

KL, what's with you and your Romanian jokes? I've said peace to a lot of Romanians, and most of them DO understand what it means. :/

What a coincidence that I'm Romanian, I understand what you mean though. Romanians that have heavy accents still pronounce most words incorrectly, such as this piss business. We have some family friends that say 'fair enough' "Very 'nough"
Hulu won't let me watch the video because I'm not in America, bastards. It was more of a reference to Robert Baratheon in the series A Song of Ice and Fire, but yes, I would gladly piss in your mug.

Btw, that Ibm mousepad look quite nice.

Seriously any mousepad will do, anything that has a picture of something you like on it or something like that.
For 12€ I got a very good mouse with a great and durable mousepad (likely I've used it continuously for more than 5 years), so I really couldn't care less about spending stupid amounts of money on trendy mats.

Yeah, right. I need a mouse pad for work, don't think these pads would be very appropriate.
I think they would be extremely appropriate.

For $2.5 + Free shipping. Its cheap, no idea if it's any good. As I'm using a "GrowUpJapan", I would purchase one as a mat to match my IBM mug just in case there's any spillage when I peace in my mug. :wave: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-IBM-PC-notebook-mouse-pad-mat-optical-mouse-/260534908231?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ca9173547
Old age symptoms of shakey hands creates plenty spillages.

As has already been said, any mouse pad would do. I quite like the Razer Goliathus Omega Control Edition for regular stuff, but if that's too small for your liking then get the regular sized one.

Get a Steelseries QCK or Mionix Sargas mousepad is cheap and good.

I find them to be great for your wrists, actually, but I feel compelled to hide them when company comes over.
I personally have a Super Sonico (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HLUIP0)one that has really good tracking, surprisingly.

Buy an aluminum mouse pad. I've heard great things about them, even the cheap ones that Best Buy sells in house. For one thing, they won't start to curl at the edges after an extended period of time.
