G5 with a regular mouse pad?

[Sam-U-Rai]

Would that be ok? I just got my parts today and i'm building on Friday cause I'm tired right now but I was wondering how the accuracy would be if I just got a reg. mouse pad from like Walmart.......







*It shipped within 2 days! 2 DAYS! and it was 3 day shipping lawl. Newegg pwns!

[Sam-U-Rai]

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.

[Mr.Ferrari]

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?

I REALLY want the Razer Mantis control pad for like $20 bucks. Think I should buy?

Yes. If you want it, go for it.

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

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?

[omgzrhpdk]

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.
