Best tracking mouse pad?

[btcomm1]

I've had one of those really big mouse pads I bought at frys, seemed good but I've been having tracking issues with it

What color is best to have? Does it make a diff if it's blue or black? What is best for tracking with optical mice?

Cloth pads generally have no problems whatsoever.

A lot of that depends on what kind of mouse you have. An optical tracks better thasn a rubber ball, and a laser beats an LED optical. In fact, a good laser needs very little in the way of a mousepad to track smoothly and accurately.

Anything except a shiny, reflective surface is AOK. Cloth is nice, felt is nice, and marble is awesome with a laser.

Make sure you flip the mouse over and check for lint or hairs where the optical opening is. I get a dog hair stuck in my G5 once a month or so.

DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LASER!!!! Or do, your choice.

LOL, I don't think the lasers used in laser mice are very powerful I will look all I want!

Actually, it's an optical mouse, I actually bought it because at 1000 polling rate it out performs all other mice, the mx500.

However, It seems to have neg acceleration with this current mouse pad sometimes, I sure hope it's the mouse pad and not the mouse.
Sometimes it does get dust in it, but I clean that out and sometimes it still doesn't track well, doesn't seem to have the problem if I use my desk, I just don't like the feel of my desk, maybe it could happen on the desk but so far I haven't been able to reproduce it.

I actually ordered this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EIORKW

Has great reviews, it specifically lists that it's for low sense and it's giant, even a little bigger then the one I have now (which I want in a mouse pad) I may have overpaid for hype but if it gets my mouse to track perfectly it's worth it to me.

My mousepad is listed in my sig below my comment. It's better then what you bought trust me.

How do you know for sure? Have you tested the one I ordered? How do you know that both of them don't just track perfectly? 🙂 Also do you have a link to the exact version you have? I looked up icemat looks like it's only 10inches by 12 inches is there a much bigger one? I use low mouse sense and a small pad will not cut it.

I got the mouse pad, it definitely is tracking better then my other one, it feels different still trying to get used to it.
