Hello. I bought a Razer Blackwidow stealth and Deathadder last week and now I need a mouse pad because my 6 year old Alienware mousepad that came for free with my Alienware Aurora apparently had a bubble right in the middle of it that my old logitech mouse was not bothered by but this Deathadder becomes erratic when I try to use it with that pad.

I've heard that with an optical sensor you want to have a "control" type mouse pad and Deathadder has an optical sensor.

I play all kinds of games from Titanfall to Diablo3. I read that for FPS games you want a "speed" type surface on your mouse pad so I don't know.

The mouse pad I'm considering right now is the Razer Goliathus. It comes in 4 different sizes and has speed or control options but I'm not sure about what surface to choose.

I also like the mouse pads that are two sided with both the speed and control surfaces but of the two that Razer offer, the Invicta is 60 bucks and I don't feel like paying that much for a mouse pad and the Vespula at $35 seems reasonable but I've read way too many reviews of people saying the surface gets scratched by their Deathadders and other Razer mice and becomes very annoying to use.

I believe the other options would be the Devestator or the Megasoma.

Any input is appreciated thank you.

For accessories, it's better to just get something you're comfortable with. If you're not comfortable with it, your experience will suffer.

Mousepad wise, I suggest just probably seeing how you like to play. Do you like gliding? Do you like rougher surfaces? Just simple questions like that, then just use that as the basis to what kind of mouse pad you will buy. As for the brand, It doesn't really matter for the brand, or at least it really shouldn't. Again, it goes back to the idea of comfort.

As for the Goliathus, when I was reading reviews, some people found the Speed mat a bit 'sticky' and got much smoother, faster movement from the Control. In any case I ended up with the Control with a DeathAdder and i've got no complaints.

Thanks. I think I'll give the control a try now just to pick a size.
