Would you buy a Surface 1030 with the AnandTech logo on it?

[Remedy]

If Anand had the Surface 1030 with his logo on it would you buy one? Yes or No.

Make it a Surface 1030 and I'll buy one. Shoot, I'd probably buy a Ratpad version of it just cause it has the logo.

 

[Viper GTS]

No thanks, already got my Surface 1030...

But had I been given the option of paying extra for the logo I would have done it... So maybe that'd be a yes?

Ratpadz are too big for my desk, but a couple of everglide LAP's would be cool

What's a suface 1030?

I ended up ruining my MS Intellimous Explorer with all the black "crap" that got on the pads of the mouse. I ended up sticking the damn thing in my closet for the dust bunnies.

 

[SpeedGod]

which is better?

Surface 1030
RatzPad
Everglide?

I am using a Microsoft USB OPtical Explorer Mouse.

 

[Pariah]

Mousepad? That's so 90's. Go naked, no pad at all.

 

[LXi]

SpeedGod:

sUrface 1030.


Pariah:

Good mousepad is essential to fragging, any FPS player knows that.

 

[SpeedGod]

thanks LxI

No, I don't pay to advertise for someone. If it was giving away for free, I would take it.

I am using a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical with a Ratpad and I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't recommend it for people with balled mice but for me I find the ratpad is excellent for my optical. It is quite a large surface and very stable. I thought about getting a surface 1030 but I have looked at it and read some reviews and I think it is a good concept but that a ratpad or an everglide is better in practice.

A smooth, dark wood grain desk works wonders with an optical mouse, and it's "free." Besides, there are lots of uses for a mouse besides playing Quake that require a high level of precision.

 

[Valhalla1]

ratzpad + optical mouse = heaven

<<A smooth, dark wood grain desk works wonders with an optical mouse, and it's &quot;free.&quot; Besides, there are lots of uses for a mouse besides playing Quake that require a high level of precision.>>

Are you trying to tell me the free wood grain can be more precise than, say, 3M Precise Mouse Surfacing? Im on an optical and nothing feels better than 3M if precision is your thing, I switch to Everglide when I need to frag people's ass, the sUrface is perfect for both because its double sided.

 

[SpeedGod]

btw, yes, i would buy a surface 1030 with or without the anandtech logo. =)

 

[joeryu]

me too, with our without i would get that pad anyday, just cant justify paying $7 for shipping on already a pretty expensive pad at $20.

 

[Cruisin1]

I wouldn't pay to advertise for someone... I would take the pad for free like gamers.com and firingsquad have done.

 

[LXi]

For those of you who wont pay to advertise for anyone, explain to me why those Everglides with Quake3 and UT logos are selling like hotcakes?

 

[Spoooon]

The mousing surface has very little to do with precision when you're using an optical mouse. If you're using a balled mouse, then yes, a different surface makes a difference. Mousing surfaces won't make your optical more precise, but it may decrease friction between the mouse and the surface making it easier to move.

 

[Viperoni]

Too big still.
Everglide LAP or no mouse pad

 

[Smbu]

No, because I already have a Ratpad, which, is great. I liked my Ratpad, so much I even bought one for my mom and one for my sister.

&quot;For those of you who wont pay to advertise for anyone, explain to me why those Everglides with Quake3 and UT logos are selling like hotcakes?&quot;

I said I wouldn't, I didn't say others wouldn't. I might buy one with a Game logo if it cost the same as a plain one. But I would never pay more. I also wouldn't buy one with an AMD, IBM, AnandTech, etc logo, because I don't like paying advertising for companies themselves.
