K thanks for the info. But why use a Mouse Pad? Laser mouses can be used on every surface. Whats the advantage of it?
A few reasons come to mind. A lot of mats have textured surfaces (smooth for speed, grainy for control).
Believe it or not, some mice cannot operate properly on some surfaces (shiny desktops, white surfaces, glass).
Some pads offer mobile usage, too.
I use a Razer exactmat. It's...special. I couldn't imagine not using thin thing. For starters, it has two sides - 1 smooth (speed) 1 course (control).
Both are excellent, I can flip the pad at any time and be happy. I've never said, "Oh! let me flip the pad so I can take advantage of it" I love both sides, and can do whatever with whichever side I'm using. If I had to pick one side, I'd probably say control. (When doing precise things like sniping in TF2, I can honestly say the pad steadies my aim)
The mouse pad is STURDY (we're talking metal - real solid, unbendable metal). If someone breaks into your house you can bash them over the head with it. It's light, but tough - there's no 'give' to it at all. This is great for laptop users - I can sit on my sofa, bed, floor, and this mouse pad is an excellent surface. No more frustrating sessions trying to get my mouse to move when I'm plopped down on the floor ~
The only thing I don't like is the Razer logo and Exatmat printed on it - If I had a choice, I would have preferred an all black (non-logo) pad. Not a big deal, just my preference.
