Do you use a mouse mat?

So, do you use a mouse mat? I'm new to PC gaming and wondered if I should get a mouse mat. I have a g5 and the plasticy feet on the bottom seem to be rubbing onto my desk and I waswondering whether I should get a mosue mat or not. Also what is the difference between mouse mats? Thanks

Not really, they're not that necessary on laser mice, i would get one but i don't really have the desk space or money to spare. You really should get teflon feet if you haven't got them though, they're definitely worth it.markop2003

Where I live I can get it for £27. Is it worth that? I probably will buy it, but are there any cheaper, decent mousemats? Thanks

The razer exact mat is really good. One side for speed another for control its nice and large too.

What is the difference between hard and soft? What do you prefer? Thanks

Is one for being fast and one for precision? :D

You can just get a nice mousepad for only like $3. I don't see a reason for paying $40 for a mousepad. O_O

I use a mouse pad, but mainly to help keep my mouse skates from wearing out.

I got mine from Artsnow.com. The make custom mouse pad, and I have a coupon code (MSPD99) to get unlimited pads for $2.99 each w/ free shipping. Now they are not the best mouse pads in the world, but better than what walmart has for like $5.

I got a pic of my PC on mine, got my GF one with a pic of us in a hot air balloon. For the price I like them.

Well worth it. Tracking is better and like you said it helps your feet from wearing out. I love my Steelseries QCK+ since it's very comfortable but my Ratpadz XT provides much better tracking and glide although it's just not as comfortable.

I've searched everywhere and can't find a place that sells the ratpads xt in the UK. I can find the steelseries though.

I own that G5 you have also and combined it with a Steelseries 5L...awesomesause...expensive...but awesome nonetheless.

I have like 5 mousepads, all of them were free:D

A mousemat it is then.

Ok, you all reccomended so many mousemats, so what is the difference between all and what should I look for in a mosuemat? Thanks

So hard mousemats are good for accuracy and soft are good for speed?

A hard mouse pad is better for speed and accuracy but soft mousepads are very comfortable. It's all in what you perfer, but I wouldn't spend too much on a mouse pad, tbh. Too bad that you can't find a Ratpadz XT in the UK it's the best hard mousepad for the price imo. I would make a post at the [H] and see what they can do.

I agree..it really comes down a one's personal preference.....I use a hard surface mouse pad... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817114131

This one took me a while to get use to because it has a plastic LED boarder that bothered my wrist, but I have since gotten use to it. My wrist may be permanently damaged for life...:P..... but this mouse pad works great and looks awesome at night with the lights out and the adjustable LED boarder turned on...:) ....The other gaming pad I like very much is the Razor eXactMat w/ wrist-rest...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826999019...will most likely be my next pad after my wrist gives out...LOL

Castrated mice don't need mats.jimmyjammer69

I use a Steel series black mat, very smooth for my mouse, had to get it because of this rougher wood my new desk was made from.
