People over at Gamespot said its up to the gamer for Accuracy mostly and not to the Hardware....



I used to be pretty good at Wolfenstein ET.... should I be ok at BF2?

You would be fine with a cheap mousepad or none at all. And as the adage goes, practice makes perfect.

Yeah, I believe it. My Sonata II came in 1 day, and I paid for 3 days. Can't beat the service. :)

What kind of Sensitivities should I expect from a Gaming Mouse? I was used to a 6.89 for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory with the Logitech Click! mouse lol.

Could I go down to about 4 with this mouse? Looks great in the packaging lol. Can't wait to use it.

Thats something you'll have to mess with and find out. I always prefer just enough sensitivity to go from side to side of the screen without needing any more then a flick of a wrist.

UPDATE: Turns out I need a good BIG mouse pad. I'm hating the 3 buck one I have :(. Its too small for my low sens and I LOVE low sens.

My budget is like 25 bucks MAX for a good mouse pad. Any suggestions? The Razer Exact mat looked great for the price cause the Func ones arent designed for Laser mice.

Who told you func's werent made for laser mice?? The whole purpose of those mousepads is laser mice.

Here are some good gaming mousepads:

I have used many many performance mousepads in the past. Including ones from func, xtrac, and steelpad.

My favorite has been the Ulti-Mat. I bit over 25.

One more thing, why not go to your local office/computer store and check out the mousepads yourself?

Thing is, I have like 5 bucks now and can get a good 10 buck pad with my sis's money OR I can wait till Thanksgiving Break to get a Func pad.



Can you give me suggestions for a $10 buck one that would work with a G5 and a $20 buck one?

Thanks. I heard they were known for quality plus the friggin pad is like 17 inches big :eek:

PERFECT for low sens. hehe.

But am I being ignorant of other brands? Idk if that's a good one or not....

Don't underestimate some of the cheap mouse pads. I use a good mouse on a plain mouse pad and use a 3.5 sensitivity in CS:S and it is very accurate.

Thing is, the black one I got with my G5 aka my mousepad from Walmart is just too small for me. I need a bigger place like the 8 inches to 17 would really make a difference. If it were an optical mouse, I'd get a cheaper mouse but the thing is that I got a G5 and it just slips and slides.


EX: My older Logitech setup for the E-Machine we have is more accurate lol. Cause cheap mouse + cheap pad go hand it hand but I need quality.


Thanks for the thought though.

You have 5 bucks and you are worrying about a mousepad? Do you have a piece of plain white paper?

Why buy such a high grade mouse, when you are gonna use a pos mousepad or a peice of paper.. There is a soft cloth mousepad, same one I have, looks about 18 inches diagonally.. I keep my G5 at 2000DPi with about normal windows sensitivity. In games (only FPS) I use from a .8 to 1.2 sensitivity. Mouse Accel OFF.
