XIGMATEK GMP-403001 Professional HD Gaming Mouse Pad extra large scratch resisted

Pros: It is very smooth that you can push your mouse a little and it will slide across

Cons: It started having bubbles all over the mouse-pad.. so being a pro at Counter Strike (like advertised) or any game you will not get the perfect precision you need.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy this mouse pad if your looking to game hard(period)

Pros: Wide, stays in place mouse.

Cons: It scrapes the bottom of my mouse.

I've got a g9x for Battlefield 3 and a Razer Naga for WoW Every time I move either mouse I hear grating noise. It drives me nuts! and after some use I noticed that it actually not only scratches the bottom of the mouse but it actually removes some of it.

Other Thoughts: I've been looking at other hard surface pads and they all seem to have this syndrome.

I've had this with the g9x and I thought it could be the mouse but when I got the Naga and the problem persisted I decided not to use it anymore.

Pros: I bought the previous version of this pad. Nice smooth clean surface(strange artwork though)

Cons: after six months of use the surface is still shows no wear, but where the mouse has been tracking most is puckered up, making the surface uneven and causing tracking problems for my laser mouse

Pros: Slick. The surface is excellent, my mouse (G9 Laser) just glides across it like nothing I've ever used before. (+1 egg)

It is also huge, which is what I had wanted and exactly what was advertised. (+1 egg)

Cons: Another user posted about bubbles and this is the greatest problem. After about 2 weeks, I started noticing a small bubble forming, but it wasn't a big deal at that point. Now, about 6 months later, there is no flat surface left. I have to hold the mouse down to use it at all.

When I let go of the mouse, the bubble reforms and, due to the amazing slick surface, the mouse will slide into one of the pits of the pad, or off the pad altogether.

Other Thoughts: Unless you are willing to make a solid surface to adhere this to, I would look into other pads.

Since I already wasted my money on it, I'll be doing just that as soon as I find a suitable surface to attach to the pad.

Pros: Great surface for mouse , especially for gaming. Takes a bit to get used to since it feels much more slick and fluid, but surface is fantastic !

Cons: I somehow have two dents in it, probably my doing, but have no idea how it happened, nor have I treated this mouse pad inappropriately.

Worse yet, after one month, one of the corners started to peel down ( toward the table ) and is now forcing a section close to the corner to bubble/raise up, which is horribly annoying.

For this price, this product should have had a solid backplate.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this product less than 3 months ago. Despite its problems, its a decent product. I do however expect more for the price. What I do expect to be different for the price is some sort of hard back-plate ( steel, plastic, whatever will keep the mouse pad to stay flat ).

: (

Pros: Thin, slick, and it works great. LOTS of real estate.

Cons: No cup holder?

Pros: Was worried that this was going to be a waste of money, buy it's actually a great surface for gaming--very slick. Looks good, its big. I've had it for 6 months and it still looks newish.

Cons: None
