Defiantly Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I have a Logitech MX500 Optical Mouse and am interested in purchasing the best mousepad possible for gaming and overall accuracy. I have two cheap no-name pads now, and notice a major difference between the two but I'm still not happy. I really want the best money can buy here.... (It's a mouse pad, how expensive can they get!) :) Any suggestions?... Thanks for you're input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiantly Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 Necrosoft.... Ok, I read a whole bunch of reviews and agree that the Ratpadz looks like the best game in town. So, I ordered one. I found it for eleven bucks at thinkgeek.com. Thanks for the info. MxxCon.... My desk is woodgrain and I've tryed my mouse on that too. While it works ok, it does seem to work better on even my cheap mousepad. However, there are many different wood types and such, so I guess I'm out of luck there. Thanks for your input though.

Quboid Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I've always used Everglides, they're pretty good. Heard good things about Ratpadz but I've never used or seen one. Report back, tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiantly Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Well, I received the ratpadzGS yesterday. When I first opened the airborne envelope and pulled out the mouse pad, I was initially disappointed. It seemed like a cheap piece of flat textured plastic. I did like how large the pad was. It's certainly bigger that the standard mouse pads. I plopped it down on my desk and fired up the box. My opinion then drastically changed. All I can say is WOW! The pad is extremely accurate and the mouse pointer slid effortlessly across the screen. (I did need to adjust the mouse speed slightly to correct the constant overshooting I was encountering.) So, I fired up VietCong. This is where the experience was even more noticeable. I play games with a simple dot as my recticle and never had this much control. Ratpadz motto is "Because Head Shots Rock" and now I know why. Necrosoft => Thanks again for the info. This pad rocks! I would recommend it to anyone!
