Should I get a mousepad?

(1/3) > >>

   Alright, today I got Razer Deathadder 2013 mouse and when I downloaded this program called Razer Synapse 2.0 which is a program specifically for Razer mice I've noticed that there is a calibration feature on it which I believe has settings for each Razer mouse pad as well as it has the ability to scan other mouse pads or my wooden desk. This made me think if weather or not should I get a mouse pad since people on the internet have been saying that they last for years and are a better choice then a wooden desk. So is it worth getting a mouse pad? If yes, should I get one of the Razer one's (because of calibration feature) or should I look for any gaming pad that has the best quality for the lowest price (since there is an automatic calibration feature anyway)? Feel free to post mouse pad suggestions if you have any. I'd also like to ask if anyone here knows anything more about that calibration feature and if it actually makes any difference.

I use a thin book... lol

coolzeldad:
The calibration feature optimizes the tracking for the small selection of surfaces the software supports I believe.

However, I do recommend something other than a wood bottom for the mouse for best tracking.

If you get a mousepad for that reason it doesn't have to be some "premium gaming mousepad".

But I do recommend to get a BIG one, at least I have noticed that it lets you get serious with whatever application you are using whether graphic design or games, you always have a reliable surface for the mouse - and less picking it up and moving it!

Yeah, I found out that my infrared mouse don't like my wooden desk very much so now a simple sheet of paper is doing the job and it seems to be doing it pretty well. I probably will be getting a mouse pad for my mouse once I go to the city. What surface do you guys think is the best for a mouse with an infrared sensor?

Peetah:
Type of mousepad is up to you. This is assuming ya even got one lol.
I would get one so it wouldn't wear the mouse feet down too fast.
