So what mousepad do you guys recommend for a g700?
it uses an avago 9500 laser sensor as far as i know, so compatibility with mousepads shouldnt be an issue...
its all up to personal preference then...
try to find a shop that lets you try different mousepads, or maybe an internet cafe to try different mousepads... or try the mousepads your buddies are using...
there are essentially 3 types of mousepads:
hard
hard mousepads have solid surfaces made out of plastic or sometimes even metal or glass
like frederik explained, they are great for high sensitivity (high dpi) players who dont move the mouse around a lot. since the surface is solid, you can maneuver the mouse around very accurately. they have the lowest glide resistance as well as far as i know.
they are not comfortable though, especially after long use...
soft
soft mousepads tend to have a rubber core with a fabric glued to the top.
the thickness of the rubber varies a lot, and so does the consistency of the rubber, some are very spongy, others rather hard, and some dont have a rubber core at all.
the facric widely varies as well, its usually synthetic but some actually use cotton.
some use a very fine mesh, others rough... some fibres are very slick and smooth and result in low friction, others are very rough and "furry"
hybrid
hybrid mousepads are flexible and provide some sort of wrist support, but have a hard surface that gives them a nice low friction glide
I just gotta say...keep up the good work CM. Just bought the Storm Sirus. Very very happy with it. Quality is fantastic. Same as my Storm Sniper case. Gonna be strongly considering these pads too along with a new mouse and keyboard.
thanks
im not a big fan of some of our products, but yeah, sniper and sirus and these mousepads are awesome... trooper is sweet too...and i really like trigger and quickfire rapid as well... they arent perfect, but pretty damn awesome considering these are our first headset and 2 keyboards
