@Martin7 What's that yellow soldering iron looking thing?
Curious about that as well
Also I think the mousepad should also be a thing in this thread right? I for one am not using one, cause my desk is covered in a protective mat, sooooo the whole thing is a bit of a mousepad :P
It's a mouse bungee, they're a mostly useless creation that holds your mouse cable a little off the ground so that it doesn't snag on things like your keyboard. I've got one, it kinda works, cost me $15.

I swear by steelseries, mostly because it was pretty much the only mousepad that worked correctly with my former RAT. It works perfectly for all other mice, too. Great texture and surface area.
(edit: the picture provided is incorrect. The pad needs to be rotated 180 degrees so that the icon is in the upper right corner. Yes, the RAT was that picky about it's surface. God I loved/hated that thing.)
Lovely machine. Never considered it for a mouse pad, though. I use one of those huge two and a half foot ones on Amazon for $10-15. I also have used a Magic playmat in the past.

On the subject of mouse pads, I have found a love for hard, tactile feedback mousepads in the past year.... but it seems no matter the mouse or the pad every hard pad (even quality ones) eventually gets grime or dirt or scratches on it that just drives me bonkers or interferes with the sensor...
So I typically have to clean it with warm water and dish washing soap about once a month... and this just feels silly compared to the maintenance of a soft pad.
Any suggestions??

I wouldn't recommend the steelseries for a start was using it for nearly a year and the material became loose and started running against my hand everytime my mouse passed over it, was really distracting and downright annoying sometimes, since switching to a razer goliathus its been very nice so far!

I used to use a Logitech Performance MX (wireless) on a glass surface (rocked about 700 skill on Hive). Since going wired with a Razer Abyssus 2014 ed. and a Razer Goliathus soft mat, my Hive skill is about 1000. @Vindaloo 's small green crosshair helped too.
I was wondering who was THE other person using it. Then I check today and there is whole 12 of us subscribed.
Also to be on topic, Deathadder is the best mouse that ever happened to me. I don't think I will ever switch. Also I have this mousepad, which is a bit more expensive, but is god-like. That reminds me I need to order few of them and put them in some storage if they ever discontinue. It's a soft mat but also a hard mat, it's huge, comfortable and I think my mouse has crush on it, but the Deathadder would never admit it.
When my Revoltec Precision Advanced wore out, and I found out they didn't make it anymore, I went to a Razer Sphex. I like the ultrathin teflon sheet "pads" (not much padding there). Basically just a consistent surface for the sensor. Otherwise, it's just my (wooden) desk that it is basically glued to.
I use the Steelseries Sensei Wireless - runs great and I don't notice any "wireless lag"
Have the Steelseries QCK+ Heavy mousepad as well. It's thicker than the one in this image.
currently looking at FM 2015 summer / FM ambdix(not yet released), was looking at Zowie ZA but I have a feeling it will hold in hand like the rival and I don't want that.
Mousepads I swap between hyperx fury and qck heavy, did want to try the european QPAD UC-50 but I think I'm fine with my hyperx for now.

I hated the deathadder every second I had it and hoped it would break. Damn thing was reliable. I LOVED the diamondback, but thing would break after like 400 hrs in ns1 @1/2" 180deg

If you have to ask... you don't wanna know.

I use the Razer Goliathus "Speed" edition (Medium size), I initially wanted the "Control" edition but misclicked the order from amazon
It's a little harsh for a mat, doesn't get stuck but has slightly scratched the feet of the mouse.

Still use a Deathadder anyway. They are pretty much the only mouse with good shape, button placement and a "perfect" sensor.

Razer Kabuto pad.
<Razer fan.

or its predecessor. (as the brand-name is on the top on mine.)
That's a mouse cable holder-upper thingie.
Still use it to this day... Seems to be a small but loyal following out there. From da original game box back in like 2000 - 2001.
I wish I had a much bigger one, but... I've tried other mousepads... too accustomed to this after many many years of use. It needs a clean.

This isn't even gaming mouse.
Now I just need to buy a new one and these ones cost 80 euros. Brr..
