Mouse Pad - Recommendations?

[greg_SA]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good mouse pad, that is locally available... Looking locally, online, I can't find anything that isn't blasted with neon graphics, etc.

I just looking for something simple, but not too small... in black

Thanks,
Greg

there is extreme mouse pads you can get in A4 or A3. they about 70-100 buc k. look aroud. they ar soft and your mouse glide smoothly on it whiles playing CS 1.6 or source or whatever....

I'm not sure if the Prophecy Shop have it still, but search for the Ratzpad GS.

A polished porcelain tile from tile africa (no joke)...read the mousepad test in last months SACM and you will see. The tile from tile africa came out on tops over all the other mousepads and costs like R99 for a pack of 10.

X-treme pad for t3h win!!!!

Computersonly have them in small and large

I've got the large one, had it for more than a year now. It's foldable, does the job really well and when it gets dirty, just throw it in the washing machine.

I use the surface of my desk which has a (cream coloured) formica top - the neoprene mousepad I have has a toilet roll tube stuck under it and acts as a wrist rest.

Its only the cat fur that slows the mouse

Thanks for the info...

The tile is not a bad idea

I would go for the "extreme" pad mentioned, but it has a neon edging ...

The Ratzpad GS would be cool, but I can't find it locally

Haven't used a mouse pad in ages...too restrictive. Decent optical mouse, some open desktop surface, don't see the need for a pad

Luke, I don't want to scratch my desk...

greg, x-treme pad doesn't have neon edging. That's just the way ComputersOnly displays it. Here's a better look at it at The Modshop. Also with a better description.

I said *decent* optical mouse Seriously though, nothing better than a smooth desktop that can grow or shrink with your needs. You don't wanna get fragged just because you ran out of mouse pad

More of the Xtreme pad from Tomshardware even! And it's made by a couple of South African guys.

Found their site: http://www.xtremegaming.co.za/

Note to MousePad extremists :
A G5 Lazer mouse cannot use a Black Moby Ceramic mousepad.
Extremely wierd cos me old optical mouse can use the Ceramic mousepad just fine.

Excellent, thanks for the info! Its exactly what I want...

Yeah for me!!!! You won't be sorry Greg. Mine's been used as a scratching block by my friends cat.... twice, been messed on by soda/beer/southern comfort so many times I've lost count and been slightly burnt once.

It's still going strong. Machine washable FTW!!

I got a nice black steel pad (Sniper, I think) from PC Game World in Cresta. It was the only one that worked nicely with my supposedly "works on any surface" Logitech laser mouse.

Well, the Xtreme Pad arrived today...

Damn, its big! Nothing fancy - exactly what I wanted

Thanks for all the input.
