It's the current version of the bbs and skins

ratpadz will just grind down the feet of your mouse and eventually make your mouse glide like shit on sandpaper after a year of heavy fps gaming. I have one and it's now a coaster more than a mousepad.

If you really really need a hard mat, func makes good hard mats but I haven't used them since the original Surface1030 they had and I wore those out (both sides) when I was competing in CS. A friend of mine is using the Archtype Surface1030 and he loves it.

I'm using a Razer Mantis Speed because it was on sale for cheap and (to my surprise) it's a great soft mousepad. The current generation is the Razer Goliathus Fragged Speed Edition but it's the same shit and I highly recommend it.

I also use a Steelseries QcK mini for my laptop, it's got a completely different weave than my Razer Mantis Speed. The QcK 'grips' my mouse more while the Mantis Speed lets my mouse slide easier.

Also I advocate Boyiee's advice minus the ratpadz

Ratpadz was just a cheap suggestion that's also decent and a hard surface... I prefer the 30-50$ ones from Razer especially and some of the steelseries.

Ah I've been waiting for this thread. Heed my advice young pursuer of a mousepad, for I shall take you to places you've never dreamed of.

You are using a g500, you have a laser mouse, that thing tracks on pretty much anything. However, we are greedy, and we want it to track as best as possible.

I'm going to toss out 2-3 options for you, since I have tried a lot of different pads and right now am extremely pleased with the one that cost me the most (figures).

Ratpadz Cheap, and godlike. This is the best solid pad you will find for the money, however, if you want to be a boss, you need to step it up. Steelseries does make some good mouse pads, and since they were mentioned, check them out. HOWEVER, please take a look at Razer, this is one thing they do very well. Razer pads are really good.

Now, if you are still reading, then you must want a good piece of equipment. Using a g500 means you will want something that responds well to laser. While laser works great on most surfaces regardless, one surface stands out the most. A white surface. Here, are the 2 best mouse pads for your G500, your Mamba, your Deathadder, Lachesis, I don't care.

Razer Destructor Obviously, select white. This is the one I use. Loved it with my mamba, love it with my G500.

Megasoma This is an expensive product, I've never used it, it's different material, but it's got great reviews. Go check out hard forum about this shit.

I nominate the white destructor btw. The Mamba glided on the Destructor like it was on air, was amazing. The G500 with full weights, not so much. I bought the Destructor for my mamba, but no longer have that. It's 100% the best pad for that mouse. Since G500 has different feet, check out steelseries and the other pads shown. I still believe nothing will track like white. BTW, there is more to getting a REAL mouse pad over not using one at all, it's not just about the surface or friction. As mentioned, take a look at hardforum, they just fucking track better and the mouse will work overall better. If you FPS at all, and aren't using at least a 20$ pad, you aren't as good as you could be. BTW think Ratpadz still has a 5$ off going on, just add to cart and it might be cheaper.

okay dude, holy shit you know your micepads

Does it glide well with 9g total weights? That's usually what I use. I'm sure it's miles ahead of what I have now either way.

The white Destructor is ~$32 with free shipping on Buy.com, so I think I might pick one up.

friend recommended these. apparently can find the biggest size for $12 or less and they are high tier. having never used one, cant give any more detail than they are a cheap alternative to the $50.00 mats. i personally just use my wood desk. haven't had a problem with build up on the mouse at all, but haven't had it more than a few months.

imo, oppai mousepad is where its at

If you don't use a mousepad with an optical mouse you get a whole lotta smegma buildup on the bottom of the mouse..

...Where the fuck are you using your mouse?

[hollowtek]

i just use on it a finely sanded, stained, and finished surface. oh and to avoid junk buildup from under the mouse just wipe it off with 70/30 isopropyl alcohol from time to time.
