XTRAC Hybrid mouse pad

[Throwmeabone]

I just got one. It's big, but sweet. At first it didn't seem a whole lot better than an ordinary mousepad but after using it a little more and after applying the mouse skate things, it's awesome! It works great with my MX1000, it's much,much smoother now. It will glide right off the pad if I push it. I can't wait to try this in a game!

That's good. Recently I ordered the big 16x10 c4 pad from http://www.cshyde.com/Excess%20Inv%20Sale.htm. I'm going to see how it is. Is that Xtrac pretty smooth, or more coarse? I'm expecting mine to be pretty slick since it's teflon coated but if not, I may just get the Xtrac hybrid.

It will probably be more coarse than the ones in the link. It's called "hybrid" because its cloth but has a thin coating of plastic on it so it resists stains and is a little smoother than cloth, but still flexible. If you don't use the mouse skates it feels a little coarse, but with the Mad Dotz (it comes with them) it's great. It still has the "feel" of cloth but its very accurate and easy to move around on it quicky. I like that its really wide too. I think it really has made more accurate in COD 2 after using a ****** foam pad.

I got the cshyde stuff a while back. It's good but requires too much upkeep. The feet need to be repeatedly changed. The pad itself is nice, but useless without the feet. I'm looking for a more permanent solution. A nice study mousepad with solid aftermarket feet that lasts...
