works on the speed side of my razer exactmat, but for some reason borks on the control surface.

isnt the ice mat glass? lazer doesnt work too well on glass. i have a glass desktop with wood underneith and i cant run my G7 on it.

how come there is a firmware update for the G5 but not the G7. they are the same thing! ones got a wire one hasnt. dont see how thats gonna effect anything. cant they just send the firmware update over the 2.4GHz RF connection?>

Wood sucks for mice dude. It wears out the mouse feet like crazy and its extremely slow compared to a "gaming" mousepad.

Even when polished and very smooth surface? Either way, it works fine for me, not like I have a high end mouse, I'm still on a 6/7 year old logitech ifeel.

the best surface for a mouse is a desktop, unless you have a glass model. Anyone who buys a 400$ mousepad to look 31337 to imaginary friends is probably the type who spends even more for a Dell XPS with a window in it, to see how much you overpaid.

I use a wooden desk with my optical mouse. I really don't care about the feet, any mouse that wears out because it was used on a desktop is a cheap piece of garbage that's better off in the bin.

I have never seen $400 mousepads... ever.
