    	    <description><![CDATA[Actually the "speed" pads have more friction then the control pads. The surface is just more consistent however and so is smoother. I think for tracking smooth surfaces are better as it's easier and more fine to make consistent movement in any direction. However I do prefer control mousepads for RTS games where the friction is lower (lets u just flick ur mouse around where u want ur units to go) and where accuracy is not as important.

At the end of the day it's all preferance.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[I'm using the Deathadder now, great mouse for lower sensitivities=)
Also have the G9, which is great if you use a finger-grip, and a higher sens.

Of mousepads, the Steelseries QcK Heavy is great, but I recently replaced it with a Puretrak Talent, which is even better than the QcK, imo=)
I've only used one hard-pad, the Razer eXactMat. It's a good mousepad, but unless you're using a high-mid sens, it's a bit too small.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Very nice review Gibbz !

Personally my experience of mousepads is more limited.

The only two "good" mosuepads I have been using is the Icemat and Qpad CT.

The icemat feels a bit different, a bit harder to move the mouse around somehow.
I used it for my Ikari optical and the tracking was perfect.
It didn't like my new Ikari laser however. The tracking was not very good.

Now I use my Qpad CT with my Ikari laser. 
This combination is very good so far. The tracking is perfect and the feeling when you move the mouse is very smooth.
For a mid/high sens gamer like me this is perfect. However, I have heard low sens people complaining a bit about the Ikari laser, even though I haven't had any problems at all yet myself.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Ive tried over 20 different mousepads so I guess I can be of help...

In terms of a mousepad its all about what you want for feel. Some people like alot of friction and smooth, some like it more gritty and with less friction.

For a high sense user I suggest a plastic mousepad as it will allow you the smallest movements possible. The SX as kovacs stated is a very very good mousepad also. The SX has low friction, and perfect glide, and lasts longer then most plastic mousepads (by a good 5-6 months imo). So if u use a high sense or even a mid sense... then I suggest this.

If you want to go for a low sense then I suggest a QCK+ as they are cheap and very good. I find they wear very fast though and have to replace mine every 2-3 months. But I'm very fussy :p

A good choice for gamers with a high sense and who want a mousepad that will last for life with absolutely no wear, then get the ICEMAT (steelseries I-2). It's only 25x20? or something like that. But the glide is very very smooth, it's got a nice consistent friction and it NEVER wears. Just make sure you don't drop it like I did to mine.

Plastic pads to recommend: 
Steelseries S&#38;S - Bog standard, nice glide. Great tracking, but it wears very fast.
Steelesries SP - A more gritty bumpy texture but argueably less friction then the s&#38;s. Good pad.

Metal:
Steelseries SX
Ulti-mat - Problems with g5 and deathadder sensor however (firmware update may be needed - and its very small (same size as icemat)

Cloth:
QCK+ - easy to get hold of and a solid pad
Puretrak Talent - best cloth mousepad I've ever used. Lowest friction on any cloth pad. Incredible accuracy and slightly larger then qck+ - hard to get hold of tho.
Goliathus Speed (Razer) - nice pad - very basic

Hybrid:
Qpad CT - one of the best mousepads made, it's got a nice size (not too big but on the larger side) and great glide. Comes in many sizes.

Also I will be trying out HeatoNs new mousepad (largest platic mousepad made) as personally I do prefer plastic (due to the accuracy) but I also use a low sense (20cm/180). It's had good reviews so far.

Also all these mousepads will be put up on my gaming site (reviews):
www.eleetgaming.co.uk

Cheers

(GET A DEATHADDER FOR MOUSE - mx518 is good too!)]]></description>
