Thanks for the continued input guys. I went with the eXactMat and am hoping to have it delivered tomorrow-ish.

I use a thumball mouse for gaming - no pad for me, no tired arms, etc. Not for everyone though.


I used to thumball too ... swore by it for years ... untill i was forced to get a new keyboard last year, and decided to go wireless. (it was complicated, involved my then 5-year old nephew and a bottle of Hawaiian punch)

when my free mousepad (average 9x6 incher from roadrunner) proved to be too small for gaming - i.e. nasty slices in TW2k5 when the mouse fell off at the end of my swing, i went to Office Depot, and for 10$ picked up a 12"x18" Allsop pad with the blue raindrops on it ...

i used to swear that the thumball was the way to go for FPS gaming, as i made it thru tribes 1 & 2, all the UT games, and HL 1 & 2 with it ... and every other game i ever played since 98 ...
but now if i try to go back, i really feel there is a loss of freedom. it's really hard to explain.

I am thinking about one of those 30"x18" pads for work, so i can have a little wrist padding without having to have the gel log ... if newegg would ever get them back in stock ...

I'm using a MS Intellimouse Excplorer 2.0 with my faithful "Freedom" mouse pad I got at Office Depot. It has a flag with an eagle in front of it. It also cleans up nicely with a small scrub brush and some dawn dishwashing detergent. It's not a plastic pad. it's a fabric pad with a rubber backing. The fabric is very thin. It's fast enough for me...faster than I can move the mouse. :)

Thats what I used to think until I won the mousepad. Much less friction, 200% less.

Here is a test. Nudge your mouse gently and see how far it moves along the surface of your desk. When I give my mouse a gentle nudge it moved about 6", a hard nudge and it goes completely off the mouse pad. It nearly is frictionless.

I am still waiting for my customized Func 1030 Archetype. And I am currently in the process of RMAing my Razer DeathAdder.

*sigh*
