Hope is the correct place to post :)

I have a CMSTORM SPEED-RX S mouse pad and Razer DeathAdder 2013 mouse.
I bought the mouse much later(4 months ago or something)
Here's what I want to ask...

1) Mouse PAD vs MAT..is thickness the only factor?

2)SPEED-RX S >>Is it good enough with this mouse? Its in great to perfect condition (been 2 years). I was thinking if this is good or should I go for Razer or Steel Series ??
(Goliathus and QCK ..i know these words :p)


Note:
No problems with the current mouse pad. I can afford a new one and am looking for suggestions to should I go for a new one or not which is compatible/good with the Razer DeathAdder 2013 mouse.

I am not a very serious gamer. I play Counter Strike 1.6 and GO and DotA2 (Perfect noob but I love to play them though :) )

to be honest.. almost any mousepad will work.

-i generally do not suggest hard mousemats because ive had a look at them in person and they seem much more abrasive which would mean much quicker wear on the teflon feet on your mouse. you can buy replacement teflon feet though and the pads are easier to clean.

-i like suggesting standard cloth mousepads since they are generally soft which means comfortable to rest your hands on and they do not wear teflon feet out quickly. they are however a bit harder to clean (you can wash them though) and non edge stitched designs will fray over time. they are also much cheaper.

-i typically advise against high contrast designs as some mouse sensors can get confused on them. an example of this would...

i have a razer deathadder 3.5g and my preference is always mouse pads and not hard mats. i also do not see the need to spend big money on fancy gaming mouse surfaces since i've never owned them yet have still been able to be competitive.

i personally use something i picked up at a show called tekmat which while not marketed as a mousepad it works out nicely for me. you can see photos in the build link of my signature. i picked it up because i own one of the products they have printed on their designs.

also, for a relatively low price $20 or under you can get custom printed mousepads in rather large sizes. while perhaps they are not sewn around the edges like some gaming pads... its also fully customizeable printing and less cost.

the best pads i've used however are your run of the mill thicker version of the standard black foam-rubber backed cloth mousepad. $5-6 and still competitive with people who pay $50 for a surface... cant beat that

of course you can go out and buy the razer pads or gaming pads if you so wish...

just a few thoughts....

Thanks!!

Nice stuff there but I don't mind the appearance so the custom ones aren't really necessary( i dont want to end up depressed thinking what the pic should be :p )

I'll just wait for another answer to see if there could be a different thought on this. NOT that your answer isn't good or anything!! Please don't mind.. :)

-i typically advise against high contrast designs as some mouse sensors can get confused on them. an example of this would be medium sized white text all across a black mousepad. actually... when my mousepad was new and the white was actually white... it would fall into this category... but only some mice are affected. (the text on the left side of my mousepad was the culprit)

-edge stitched designs such as the razer goliathus are certainly nice for anti-fray but you do pay more for that and other features which will matter very little in the actual world in terms of increasing any gaming performance on your end. not a bad mat to buy if you like the design and dont mind paying $20 for something you could get of similar size for $10 (albiet without edge stitching or fancy fabric).

your choice of course.
