What mouse pad do you use....And how would you rate it.

[Captain Crunch]

Just wondering what everyone is using. Why? And how would you rate it??



I have a Ratpadz GS I use it for everything. It's a hard plastic with rubber feet that keep in place very well. I love to find a mouse pad that my Logitech mx-518 would glide over the pad just a little smother. But it's a pretty good pad. I have it at 7 1/2 stars. Or for the egg geeks 4 eggs.LOL

I've been wanting a nice mouse pad. I'm looking at the Func 1030 Archetype but I don't have enough money right now.

At the moment Im on a desk. Its been smoothed down by the mouse since I game alot.

As pathetic as this may sound, I'm using some old plain piece of red rubber that came with my old Win3.11 PC over a decade ago. I'm not the type of person that can't live without some teflon cover or anything.

You are starting to worry me........ :smt075

Were going to have to start a collection and get you guys some HL mouse pads...........

[Tyreal]

Indeed. Made by FUNC.

[yurimxpxman]

Yeah, HL mousepads would be cool. I wonder how much they'd cost to make.

It's funny you should start this thread, because recently I've actually been thinking about getting one of those teflon mousepads. I saw it in an old MPC issue. It looks pretty cool 8)

It'd be cool to have HL mousepads :D As well as HL sweatshirts. I would wear it proud.

I should email FUNC and see if they will do it.

EDIT: Func currently has a BETA up right now for their new customization service: http://www.func.net/products/custom/customize_beta.html

I think if we have alot of demand here we can get them at cheaper prices. They're pads aren't outrageously priced anyway. The archetype can be picked up for around 25 canadian.

[Captain Crunch]

Yea I think I could do that........lets see what we can do.

Edit:
Ok I tried playing around with it to make a HL pad but well lets just say I'm not blake........
Maybe some one with some skills could make a realy kicking HL design?

cough cough hint hint..

Well, I have an X-Trac Zoom special edition hard surface mouse pad (only like $5 from SVC). I hoped it would be better than my previous generic cloth pad but it's fairly average. The hard surface gets dirty much faster/easier. Right now I am actually using the laminated surface of a particle board desk. I think I just need a new mouse, this MX-512 is just too heavy for my taste.

And about the HL gear, I've got a couple print shops that will make custom mouse pads, but they are the really crappy cheap cloth pads that aren't smooth at all and I wouldn't recommend it. As for the sweatshirts or something, that might be cool if someone doesn't mind eating the up-front costs associated with such an endeavor.
