This is pretty sweet.

Too bad the sensor in my mouse is known to have tracking issues in multicolored mousepads.

What mouse do you have? I've never heard of this before.

My MX Revolution also have problems on graphic/multi color. Besides that I can never decide what I would even want on such a custom graphic mousepad... lol. I do need a new one for the office. That one is getting rather nasty and these are such a good deal I really should decide on something. Making it 100% work safe makes it even more annoying though :))

Lol, yes I've also been kind of indecisive about custom designing this. I'm thinking of putting the Poker logo (like the ones on the cardboard packaging) in the bottom right corner. Just white on black. XD

I have a Zowie AM. It is mostly fine really, but it decreases its max. tracking speed. I play a lot of FPS at very low sensitivity settings, so I do a lot of really fast sweeping moves with the mouse. When the tracking speed is not good at high speeds this is really an issue, and I ran into this with a couple of mouse / mat combinations. Typically the mouse will start skipping/ not tracking part of the movement.

I think there are more sensors with this problem. Once you start reading into it, and taking it too far, you find that it is hard to find a mouse with a perfect sensor for the enthusiast arena FPS player.

Frankly, I got fed up after "To upload pictures, make an account" and then "We have now made an account but you have to retrieve a confirmation link."

I spent like five hours looking up different codes since for some reason this one decided not to work.  Would like to anyone order this for me please and charge me via Paypal? I can PM the image I want printed.

I appreciate the offer but this didn't work either for me. I've tried all that I could find, no luck.

Maybe you didnt confirm that you made an account through email? Or this offer only works once per address/per account, if you have ordered from them previously it will not work. Actually there is a new code, check OP

Huh. I've never ordered from them before. The new code didn't work either. I guess I'll just pay full price, I don't mind. xD

So, has anybody actually received the pad yet, and are they any good?

How much is shipping?

A little bit disappointed at product quality, but still happy with my design choice :)

Bought a few (just had to), and I think the quality is really good for that price. Paid a lot in shipping though, but it was worth it!

Bought two of these amongst others:

Originally I thought I'd take one of them myself and give the other one to my brother (who's somewhat a Valve fan), but I ended up giving mine to my mom, for some strange reason (or well, to quote her: "that's a hilariously ugly looking man - can I have this for work?") after she'd seen my brother's. :)

For $1 I wasn't disappointed in the quality. I laughed at the gabe one and I think the poker one is pretty sexy

It might have been due to shipping damages, but the edges of my mousepad are already frayed. I mean for a dollar it's hard to be picky....but somehow I am lol.
Title: Re: Custom Mousepad $0.99
Post by: bavman on Sat, 23 March 2013, 12:01:11
Finally got mine. Quality is not too bad, but the actual size is too small for me to use.

If it does still work, you can only order one, anyway.
