I have the Stealseries 9HD and i find it a great mousepad.

It is very tough and hard wearing.

it has a reflective surface for maximum optical or laser pickup.

and for me its just the right size, not too small or overly large.

It's also very thin and not spongy feeling at all.

I Highly recomend.

It doesn't matter. It really depends on your preferences. Cloth pads have higher friction and harder to clean, but it is more comfortable and offers better mouse control. Hard pads are easier to clean, more durable, and glides a little better, but not as comfortable.

Thanks guys

So what i`ve heard about laser mouses like my G9X goes better with hard surfaces is not a true?

It`s interesting that we have a lot of opinios here, nioce to hear all of then

I`ll play FPS games with this G9x + the mousepad i`ll select

Thanks

Should have added that I use a Sensei laser mouse and I've had no issues with it,I can be very accurate or wild with it and it does the job

I'm the opposite, cloth mouse pads make me cringe. I can't stand touching them or the feeling of moving the mouse over them. I only like hard pads and the smoother the better; I wish I had one made out of glass. The prices for mouse pads are insane though so I just make my own.

I have the Logitech G9x and SteelSeries NP+ which as far as I know is the same as Qck heavy but thinner. I have had it for two to three years and it is clean and I have no problems. I like the cloth and soft feel. My mouse glides smooth and the pad does not fold or ripple with mouse movement.

If you do not care about material then maybe you want to find some performance comparisons between the two mouse pads.

The cloth material i think is better for my arm, that hurts a lot when i spend lot of time in the pc

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
