Pics - Also make sure it has some small aluminium shards or shit inside so my G500 can track across it. I'll take about 200 and ship them over to hong kong to start up a business there

And yeah - I was looking at all the other monitors, especially some of the korean ones that worked out quite a bit cheaper. As good a value they are sometimes warranty and overall build quality are more important. I dont want to have to deal with sending it back overseas if there are dead pixels or something goes wrong with them.

On the other hand, many great things have been said about this PB278Q, It might cost a little more but i believe the price will be worth it given the quality. Its worth going the extra mile for peice of mind.

I still wouldnt mind getting a korean monitor as third monitor though but i dont really need one as this 4-5 year old NEC im currently using is still decent.

It's only 4mm thick and the other side is satin blasted, so that should provide enough tracking for the more leanient sensors. Besides that, if it requires more of a reflective surface, you can acid polish glass to turn the surface opaque but keep it smooth.

GIVE ME MULLIONS OF DOLLEURS. Maybe I can sell them on to SteelSeries.

Cool beans - Let me know about the pricing of these mouse mats - I may be interested in grabbing one off you or getting one made to a custom size - I run my mouse at above 3000DPi so theres no real reason for me to have a mat that measures 350mmx270mm I need something about half that size.

On a side note - get an LED strip installed on the side of one so it glows in the dark..... Definitely look cool as shit

That's not a bad idea... Might look into it. It's payday tomorrow so I can screw around.
You'd be better off telling me exactly how you want your mat so I can call for a quote and then give them your address. Postage is by a dedicated glass courier, so I wouldn't feel safe sending you glass via RM That's if this thing works in the first place!

 

[ne6togadno]

you will have hard time to find led strip with less then 5mm width

Do they make these using a template or could i have it customised a little without bumping the price up too much? Id like to have a little arch where the bottom of my hand will sit.

Anyway, upload a few pics when yours come in and i'll try have a basic design/schematic drawn in paint with what i want my mat to look like with all the correct measurements

They can do custom designs, but they cost more per corner of glass that is affected I believe. This comes at a cost though, and it's not cheap. Just having the corners bevelled bumps the price up a bit. If you could draw a to-scale version, with the size as a 1:1 ratio, it might help. If all else fails, there's a glass company I can go to about 17 miles away and talk to them in person. They can quote for me, and I could pick it up myself.

It might not work for me however. Will just have to see.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Nevermind then, I'll just get basic measurements and you can get me a quote

He made a design of your mousemat with measurements.

Even something of that size would be OK too, Like i say, I dont exactly sling my mouse across my desk when i move because of the high DPi setting, I might move it the odd 2-3mm to get it half way across the screen.

you still will need some space so your hand lay on the mat instead at the mat edges or 0.5-1cm lower at desk surface.

OH LORD IN HEAVENS IT FEELS SO GUUUUUD.

Literally I cannot describe how smooth the satin surface is. No chemical polishing required!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

that K90 looks very familiar

 

[FreedomEclipse]

So whats the tracking like on that mat? I wanna how it feels above 3000DPi

Pretty much flawless, no skips, accurate within fractions of a millimetre. Ungodly smooth, and a suprisingly nice feel for what little of my hand rubs on it.
This mouse hits 8200, but I run it at 2400 for FPS games. Gonna play various genres of games tonight and see what works and what doesn't.

Well hit me up when the quote for mine arrives - Im quite impressed with how it looks sitting on your desk.

Speaking of which is that a PS4?? with a packet of smokey bacon crisps on top of it? sweep that shit off the desk you tart!

On a side note - Logitech Proteus Core anyone??? Is like a G602 but wired. Im really looking forward to the day it arrives in the UK

::EDIT::

On an extra side note next to a serving of side note - your desk is so clean and unfudged by any kind of mess or trash that usually sits on a computer desk.

Id take a picture of my desk but its a complete mess

Id personally be looking for a Samsung Evo - 240 can be had for just under £100 while a Crucial M500 should be just under £90 but possibly closer to £85
