What mousepad are you using?

Looking at buying a large sized mousepad, but tired of using the same supermats & steelseries cloth pads. I seem to wear them down pretty quickly with extensive gaming, so just wondering if anyone out there has come across some top notch mouse pads.

    I'm using a Razer Vespula, It's not huge but big enough, and I've been using it for years and years without any wear and tear whatsoever.

    works very well, even with non-razer mice I've used.

    I use a Razer myself, virtually no wear (can't be sure how many years ago I got it) and it has two different surfaces. So you may like the smoother or the one with more friction.

    @Holyborn you don't use those? How do you get your forearm in the right place they obstruct your use of the mouse. :D

    I need to know where to buy those.  I'm buying one... for a friend.  Yeah, a friend.

    Can't imagine what a person would be doing to regularly wear out a mouse pad, or that premium ones were available or even necessary.

    Sounds a bit like buying Ping irons in golf.

    I don't use a mousepad. My G600 seems to not work well on them.

    I didn't realize mousepads were a thing for gamers. I ve been using a mousepad I got free with something  I bought about ten years ago or so.


    Anyone find any anatomically correct male mousepads?

    Using one here as well along with a Lochitech MX518 mouse. On highest DPi of the mouse (1200) I can move left to right for about 5cm to cover a full left to right on all 3 monitors I have.

    I had no idea these kinds of mousepads existed.  Kinda disturbing.   I have a plain old mousepad with the traditional frayed sides which needed to be replaced 2 years ago.

    I used a mousepad I got for free with a physical copy of Max Payne for years until you couldn't hardly see the image on it anymore. Now I use one with a wrist rest that I bought at Wal-Mart.

    If your mouse needs a mousepad in order to work properly, then you need a better mouse.

    If your mousepad makes it more comfortable for you to use a mouse, on the other hand, then have at it.  It's a question of ergonomics, not functionality.

    Yeah, that's why I use it, the wrist rest. At work I don't use a mousepad.

    My desk. Works fantastic.

    I'll second the Razer Vespula being a good choice ( i have the same thing but an earlier kind of version of it) it isn't cloth and they are nigh indestructible.
