Quality-Mat Mouse Pad

[Kurtis]

The Quality-Mat is a glass pad aimed at gamers & graphics professionals. Can Dutch newcomer Quality Glass gain the trust of uber-gamers and graphics junkies or will they be sent back to the drawing-board?

HA! I must say that Brad is hardcore. Im a little disappointed that he didn't take the 9mm to it. :lol: But after declaring how much he likes this pad, he still trashed the corner of it on his porch. That's true dedication.

Oooooo...I want one! I'll get one when I get my big new desk. But, what I don't get is, why does it work so well with optical mice? Is it because of the grid thing in the glass?

thanks guys! well you know what they say, if you truly love something...you must smash it on your porch.

ichi, the optical mice really just need some sort of irregular pattern or surface to work well, something to reflect the 'laser' light so that the mouse can get direction coordinates and decide which way you are moving it. if you're in the UK ichi the shipping rate will be much better for you. i would definitely get one...or get the corepad...it looks cooler and is exactly the same design.

the quality-mat's dot-grid is nice because it gives the optical mouse something to reflect on, but the grid isn't so intrusive that it gets in the way for roller mice...in fact i think it offers some better traction for the ball while still being a bit smooth and not bogging down the tracking.

i do love that pad, the best i have tested so far. way better than the other glass pad i just tested and am currently finishing reviewing.

thanks for the vote of confidence, nick, and welcome aboard! if you think what i did to the mouse pad was hardcore...wait 'til you see what rich and i did to these poor little locking case screws we just tested...muuhahahahaaaa :twisted:
