[GayPornStuntman]

[trema12345]

[MadCrokodile1]

[trema12345]

[crazyspooks10]

So is this mousepad worth the 20bucks?

[ussnimitz3666]

@LinusTechTips

Hey linus! love your reviews. but one thing that worried me was your comment on multi-colored surfaces lower your tracking. i was going to get the talent but read how "smooth" it is and want a mousepad with some friction more feeling of control. so i got the complexity edition which has a colored logo on it. do you think the design logo will lower my tracking? i have an optical mouse (ie3.0).

[mexboiii]

Puretrak is awesome!

I'm of fan of them on facebook and they just had a mini competition to see who could complete a certain riddle first. The winner would get a 25$ gift card for puretrak's site. I won haha. Gonna order this mousepad soon.

[didimissomething]

i want that mousepad!

[fatboi5555]

Hey Linus i read some reviews including yours about this mouse pad i would like to purchase it, but i have no idea where to get it since ncix is OOS of these thanks alot!

[KevinLi89]

Does the ikari laser work well on it? I heard ikari skips on pattern surfaces.

[JeemOfRunescape]

@pawppy So... you bought it?

[pawppy]

@JeemOfRunescape no..

[jblackrupert]

Xtrac Ripper XXL is much bigger and better surface,

[deepsinK]

@jblackrupert are you kidding? That pad got shit on in reviews.

[navig75]

So in a nut shell it's... fail, because of the dump pattern printed on the pad LoL

[zelpel]

lol, this is 30day vt but I have information in admin panel that Server is due to December 2nd, 2010 oO

[zelpel]

thx, i used cupon code ;p

[CometUK]

Thats almost as big as my desk

[AzNsEnSaT1oN]

do people even use ventrilo? I saw the code and didn't even bother.

[blastoiseover9000]

....Tons use ventrilo.

It's used by many businesses, aswell as gamers.

[JereHakala]

You need to have pretty damn large table & screen with very low sensitivity to use all of that mousepad D:

[sabakunogaara92]

lol, like a carpet =D

[hyperi]

I think that Xtracpads Ripper XXL is bigger

Not sure, though

[sKarmA115]

@hyperi lol you are correct, this is a 19x14 where the ripper is like 36x18 :P

[DrBrunitoz]

the biggest mousepad i've ever seen!

[coolgoose86]

wtf.!! such a big mousepad.!! it's almost like a mat.!!

[spedknot]

nice mouse pad! but why do they make them so huge nowadays??

i have a small desk ha.

[MajinFrahma]

looks killer.

[hipnotyq]

lol... nobody used that ventrilo code... did they?

[SinDragonSD]

man i really regret getting the steelseries mousepad switching from a hard rubber one.. so sensitive .. and no precision! going back to rubber!

[Marazuga]

all u really need from a mousepad is that it's comfortable and that it's big enough, that tracking stuff is bullshit unless it's noticeable

[LinusTechTips]

It's VERY noticeable!

A good mouse pad makes a world of difference.

[METAL8907]

@LinusTechTips

You are saying that a complex color pattern on a gaming pad reduces tracking, but every gaming mouse has patterns, in fact thats one of the main reasons that separates them from OEM cheap pads. Im going to buy a g500 mouse and I was interested in the CM weapon of choice pad (w/black and white m4) but l dont know now. l read that optical mouses benefit from multiple color patterns but not the case for lase ones? plz clear me out this!!

[deepsinK]

@METAL8907 the honeycomb pattern is helpful for older mice that use a different method for tracking. For all newer mice it makes little to no difference in the pattern imaging on the pad itself.

[toogi88]

@Marazuga i think for gamers tracking is not bullshit... if you have mousepad which is "good" in tracking and pad which is "excellent" in tracking, which one you should choose?

[Check6Gaming]

@Marazuga A good mouse pad makes a huge difference. The hexagons on the Talent improve the tracking and the difference is very noticeable. Many mouse pads have tracking issues when paired with laser mice.

[Spectr0n]

wow thats huge pad o.O

[InternetSandman]

your right. there really ain't a whole lot to say about a mousepad. I just use the layer of foam that came with my IKEA computer desk and keyboard drawer, works fine for me lol

[Hekynn]

very nice been looking to replace my worn torn mouse pad lol.

[Diplo1337]

very nice , big mousepads = win , great in fast games like cs,cod etc

[psphacking411]

yup

[scottycatman]

Bigass mousepad.
