Looking for a good gaming mouse pad

[.jrauck]

Anyone know of a good gaming mouse pad? Im looking for one under $20 U.S.

Fatal1ty Fatpad (http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/6b43/), $12,99 from ThinkGeek, 14"x17". A friend has one and swears by it, and I drool every time I see it. So awesome.

itsbard, that mousemat is $25 .jrauck asked for under $20 :) spose it cant hurt to spend the xtra $5 if you like the mat though:D

Heh, i buy cheap ass mousemats, pack of two for what is roughly $1.50 and they do the dirty.

Works great with old roller mouses, and damn well with opticals too: although one just got destroyed by battery acid 2 weeks ago...need to go pick up more :D

Seriously, go with the Fatal1ty one. It's absolutely huge, and soooo awesome.

I second that notion.

I would have to suggest the Xtrac Pro HS (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/xtracprohs.html) great mouse pad! If you've got the G5 make sure that you've flashed it to version 1.1 though the textured surface is enough to cause problems if it hasn't been flashed. And while you're at it make sure and pick up some Xtrac Mad Wax (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/xtracmadwax.html)... I know it sounds stupid, but it works, when you've got a plastic surface like that with that wax it's amazing. That same website has some bigger or smaller pads from Xtrac as well... plus you may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere I've not even looked.

edit One thing that I don't really like about the Fatal1ty, that some people do like, is that it is a cloth pad. It's alright, oldschool mice work best on the cloth pads but they always get dirty, and I don't like the texture... but that is just me! I just wanted to provide you with a little choice if you've not purchased yet. /edit

This is mine, i Love it, realllllly smooth, very very thin and huge enough to never feel the edges when playing.

( I play alot of FPS's and this is the second best thing i ever did to improve my game besides my mouse.)

haha same thing I suggested, just quite a bit bigger! They really are great mouse pads.
