I just bought the biggest mouse pad ive ever seen from micro center last week for 6 dollars i think it would be better then any rat pad.
But im just wondering what everyone else uses...

I use somethin I bought from staples years ago and I've been looking for something much better...lol...

No luck yet

I use an optical mouse by MS, so I usually just one of those small plastic type mouse pads just to keep the mouse from getting dirty on the table. Sometimes I may use a gel wrist bad for those long fraggin' sessions.

Yes, it is early and I can't spell worth a damn

I use the Logitech Cordless Optical Freedom Keyboard and Mouse set. And Currently I am use that nifty Max Payne mouse pad that I got with the game.

I got an optical and it just rides on top of soild oak, no pads, w/ the money I save on pads I can buy ribbon IDE cords.

Logitech Cordless Trackman Wheel. I have 3 of them. Been using trackballs since they came out in the early 90's. I will frag anybody's ass with my thumb quicker than you could with your hand.

Know what, that sounds kind of strange if you aren't into computing.

lol that would sound funny if we did not know what you were talking about BA. Well i use the same thing as you do well except mine has a cord. It does not move much so I didn't bother going cordless.

Just my desk, though i really should get a mouse pad not that i look at my desk. I just paited it and the paints already starting to come off. DAMMIT!

I use an Everglide Giganta optical mouse pad and mouse skates on my MS Explorer. I still prefer corded for games for the quick reaction time. Maybe it's just me, but cordless still seems to lag to much. Cordless has come a long way though.

I've been thinking of giving the Logitech MX700 a try, heard that it has no lag time at all and is very versatile. I also like the rechargeable batteries and stand that comes with it, great idea.

Yeah I'm going to get the MX700 the second Memory Express recieves it. They said it should arrive in a few weeks. The MX700 is so cool, I can just leave it to recharge whenever I'm at school and have a fully recharged mouse when i come home, and not have to take out batteries and put them in my charger, which takes light years to charge batteries. LOL. At the moment I use a Cordless Opticle Mouseman.

fUnc Surface 1030 and a MS explorer v3.0 with mouse skates
i also have a everglide giganta wich sucks ass compared to the fUnc

Speaking of the MX700, Designtechnica has a great review up for it. Here ya go: Logitech MX700 review

My word!!

woof!

I use an Everglide Giganta also, with Mouse skates. But i modded my everglide some.

After i lapped my heatsink i was sitting at my desk and looked down at my mouse pad and thought, "That thing could be smoother"

so i took it out to my garage and took some 600 grit sand paper and my random orbit sander to it and knocked off all the texture. then from there i went to 800 wet, 1000 wet, and 1500 wet sand paper. its plastic so the "look" of it is very etched up now, lots of little swirl marks and the like but the feel, the feel is so smooth. lol i added mouse skates and now the slight tension of the mouse cord plus the slight angel of my desk makes the mouse glide to the back when i take my hand off it. very n ice for sniping.

Im using a black and grey Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical on a black 3M Precise Mousing Surface with gel wristwrist

if you happen into a radio shack anytime soon, ask about some discontinued sound dampening pads, they are about the exact same size as a case side panel, and made out of the same material as a typical mouse pad (for those who want a big ass mouse surface), otherwise, if you have decent cooling, slap it to the inside of your case side panel and use it for sound dempening...for less than a dollar each i believe...and i know all this because i used to work at the rat shack...
