The Steelseries QcK is pretty nice. Decent selection of sizes as well.
keep it up man, almost there.

I definitely recommend an aluminum or metal mouse pad.  My mouse glides so easily.

Razer Goliathus - I've never been a fan of their keyboards, or mice, but I do like their mouse pads. They are available in several sizes and mine still looks brand new, after a year of abuse.

I agree with this but only if you have good circulation in your hands or don't live in a cold place, my hands get so cold during the colder seasons....

You bring up a really good point that I had forgotten about since it's summer. Ya if it's cold, the wrist touching the mouse pad is actually unbearable. On several occasions I had to put a cloth under my wrist.  There is something about coldness on your wrist tendons that's super uncomfortable.

I actually have a glove for winter but the circulation in my hands still can't keep up.

The Rocket fish mousepad is the best gaming pad I have ever used, now owned by insignia and is at best buy. I have been using the pad for 4 years and no wear, heavy gaming and a lot of desktop use. Best $9 I ever spent on gaming heh, it's on eBay also.

I liked vespula but it wore down way to soon, also did not like plastic core. Metal core seems best for me, here is a video comparing the 3 best pads I used the last 7+ years. Good luck Brother.

I have an Artisan Hayate mid and a Steelseries QcK at work. The Artisan is leaps and bounds better than the QcK. It's like a night and day difference.

Still the Artisan's are prohibitively expensive and are typically like $50
Massdrop had a good deal on them lately though

Kind of feeling sad that I passed on that drop then. I just ditched my Logitech G240 for a QCK, because the G240 is such a cheap feeling POS in comparison. Previously I had been firmly convinced that a mousemat was a mousemat was a mousemat. But no, Logitech somehow manage to f*ck up something that simple :/

I'm sure they'll come back around
It's just annoying that they are so hard to come by

I really love my Razor one with the wrist wrest, it's held up well for a LONG time and I have one for me and one for the family that sees plenty of use.

There was this guy who said the G502 has a smoothing algorithm and therefore angle snaps...

I'm confused, is this true.?

I am currently using the Sharkoon Fireground, the large one, which is actually not bad. But it has very small depth. I wonder if I should try the Steelseries QcK XXL. Btw, what difference does it make if a mousepad is thicker or thinner ? I am talking cloth here, not plastic or metal.

Well, I'm using a trackball so I do not need a mat but I've bought a 45x60 cm cutting mat. Out of curiosity, I tested it with a mouse and it worked great, both good glide and tracking.

I could not emphasize enough to get the largest thing you can handle. You'll be glad you have so much space for activities!

good old moose

Its marked as sold now. Wonder for how much

I wouldnt be surprised if it was for asking price

I'm shocked he didn't rip the stem out and turn it into a nipple ring, tbh.

I have a Ducky Flipper. IMHO, most mouse pad would be similar in quality and stuff. Just pick a pad that has STITCHED EDGES that prevents fraying or peeling of surface or the pad from splitting from the seams after a while.
