mousepad for mx518?

Ok so currently i have a Razer Deathadder and a Mantis Control, both have served me well but i feel its time to replace them..

I've already got a brand new mx518 in the post courtesy of a certain friend here on CF ;) But I think I'm gonna buy myself a new mouse pad cus this control has worn quite a bit..

What do you guys think is the best mouse pad suited to an mx518/best mouse pad overall?

Fanks :)

just ordered a MX518

first gaming mouse ever hope its any good at all :P
Well from what i've heard its really good, my deathadder is awesome but i've never had an mx518 before so i can't really compare ;(
Parent
haha nice downgrading sensor.

Anyway, laughs are over. Puretrak talent i guess, with hyperglides!
Well i love the deathadder but i've heard the mx518 is good and wanted to try that out as well..

Thanks :)
Parent
puretrak talent obviously
if ur budget is low, qpad/qck
u can try always icemat since afaik mx518 works perfect, but u will need to buy glides every year i think
lol every year, every 2 months

you need to buy new glides when using a cloth pad such as the talent every 9-12 months
Parent
mine in deathadder got destroyed after using icemat for 6 months, then qpad for 7-8 months so dunno really
Parent
paperpad / oak desk
Roccat taito,its cheap (around 15€) and cloth material,therefore you won't need to buy new glides soon.
Qpad UC Large.
No no no, man, what have You done?!
Changing DA to MX518?!
Are You insane?!
Ok, now a bit serious, You shouldnt change DA to MX518. DA is much, much better (/flame on)
But yet, You did, so mousepad:
qck or puretrak talent
If i dont like it i can always give it to someone else i guess.. my DA still works well, apart from the middle mouse button is shit now :(
Parent
Sure You can!
And btw. I hope you will do it :D
Your DeathAdder is calling You:
cooooomeee baaaacccck
Parent
haha ;D He'll be fineeee :)

if you say so
Parent
Let's have a moment to laugh on this guy.
Ok moment is over.

Send your deathadder to me
Why laugh? I didn't even buy the mx518 for myself, its a gift..

No.
Parent
aha
like you know shit about mice
Parent
Don't feel offended bro XD
I didn't say mx518 is a bad mouse, just DA is much better.
Parent
personal, extremely biased because personal, opinion

You are an idiot. Just because you have 10 mice (obviously because you don't know shit about mice and buy them just to be cool on the internet) doesn't mean you know which one is the best.

HF reading and crying in the shop to give ur money back for the mice you bought.
Parent
xddddddddddddddddd

you are the idiot

what matters for me is mostly the shape, weight etc.

sensor wise the deathadder is the best, but with my high sens I don't have any neg accel even with the worst sensors (razer copperhead). I knew extremely well which mice I buy and why I buy them, opposed to what you said. I didn't buy any of those mice for the coolness factor.

but I never read esreality before..

You are braindead, seriously.


So you know what mouse fits better for it's guy shape wise? Man, you are sad.
e: who cares about you and your sensitivity? This guy is asking for advice, I told him in a "funny" way that he shouldn't change because DA is better. Noone gives a fuck what mouse suits better for your hands.
Parent
You sick braindead fuck,

DA won't make him aim better unless he uses 100+cm for a 360 turn, so that he has to do VERY fast swaps for tracking the enemy. And he'd have to play with 1800 dpi for the DA to perform like it did in the test, which is a downside for me. Sujoy made a major mistake with that test, he measured the performance of all those mice at their highest dpi. The mx500 has just 400dpi, so that it performed better than the mx518 in the test, while the mxd518 performs equally well with 400dpi as the mx500. all other mice besides the DA 3G (1800dpi) perform best at their lowest dpi.

I know that I don't have to care for the sensors perfect control that much (any gaming mouse will do fine), but for the more important angle snapping or possible issues like jitter (DA 3.5G).

You bellend give me a link to a site you've seen once in your lifetime, while I perfectly know that site, browse that site and have read the whole hardware forum. You are the fool. You do not know - nearly - anything about mice. One has to own some mice to be able to judge what he prefers, what suits him better. You buy cigarettes, I buy mice, deal? Let me do what I want with my money and don't say that I should give back all those mice (while those are not all of them), because YOU know what suits ME better. I actually prefer several mice to the Razer DA.

Let me start:

Steelseries Ikari, Steelseries Xai, Steelseries Kinzu
Microsoft IMO 1.1
Razer Diamondback, Razer Razer Krait, Razer Salmosa, Razer Abyssus
Logitech MX300, MX310, MX500, MX510, MX518, G1, G3, G5, G9, G9x

k thx.

What the fuck are you talking about? Did you even read what I wrote? What you are saying is totally senseless.
Read once again what I wrote and then TRY to reply.

Mouse: Razer DiamondBack Magma 500Hz 800DPI

Mousepad: desk

e: you obviously don't understand English, it's not worth having a discussion with you.
Parent
Hope you are just acting stupid, I have never met such an idiot person in my life. Did you even get what I wrote? All I see is talking about yourself. Who the fuck would care about your shit life, because that's what you are saying. You spend shitloads of money on shit mice, and you are not even close to medskill.
Do you really wanna act thug on the internet because your rl friends already laughed on you that you spend all the money you get from your mom on mice? :DDDDD
You are talking bullshit, I also had other gaming mice before, still doesn't change any fact that DA is the best mouse around.
Quotewhat matters for me is mostly the shape, weight etc.

1. Who cares what matters for YOU? seriously. The journal is not about you, the guy is asking for advice.
2. How do you know how big is his hand, what shape would be the best for him?
I have a quite large hand but still I like razer designs more. And still I am not starting to argue what do I like.
3. You obviously don't know shit about mice, otherwise you wouldn't have 10 of them. Don't try to give advices on your own, you fail as many times as you open your mouth.
Oh and btw I am using Razer DiamondBack because it's the best price/quality mouse from 2nd hand, and I am using my desk as a mousemat because it suit's the best for ME, but I still won't call you retard(what you actaully would deserve for your stupidness) because you are using a real mousepad.
Parent
I see you can't work with complex texts so that I from now on will only quote what you said and write my answer to that.

QuoteAll I see is talking about yourself. Who the fuck would care about your shit life, because that's what you are saying.

nobody else should care for the sensors performance as much as you do. it's just personal experience that I know I do not need a superb person and that there are more important things than that. the DA has a shit shape only suited for palm users in my opinion hence I'm not using it. I inform the people that the sensors performance is not that important and that they should watch out for other things than that.

you've obviously shown that you do not understand that.

QuoteYou spend shitloads of money on shit mice[q/]
all of them are top notch and worth the money

Quote
there's no reason for getting personal, although to clear that up I'm > med.

QuoteDo you really wanna act thug on the internet

I do not, you do. I know my stuff, you don't.

Quoteyour rl friends already laughed on you that you spend all the money you get from your mom on mice?

I didn't spent much money on those mice and nobody ever laughed at me because of it besides from you geek which would prefer to spend it on cigarettes. I said it last time, I'll say it again: let me do what I want with my own money. Also I am 18 so guess what, I am already able to earn my own money.

QuoteI also had other gaming mice before

I want to believe.

Quotestill doesn't change the fact that DA is the best mouse around.

Quote1. Who cares what matters for YOU? seriously. The journal is not about you, the guy is asking for advice.

My personal opinion matters as much as the others people opinion, maybe even more because I actually have experience.

Quote2. How do you know how big is his hand, what shape would be the best for him?
I have a quite large hand but still I like razer designs more. And still I am not starting to argue what do I like.

I do not know what mouse would suit him best, he should try some mice. Saying the DA is the best mouse on the world while saying you don't know which shape suits him best = hypocriticism at its best. the DA has a totally fucked up shape only suited for palm grip users with quite big hands.
I prefer MAAAANY other mice than the DA, perhaps he does.. also?
Well, he should try.

Quote3. You obviously don't know shit about mice, otherwise you wouldn't have 10 of them. Don't try to give advices on your own, you fail as many times as you open your mouth.

Dude, calm down please. Now let me explain to you that would you say is absolutely hypocritical. It is not sufficient to read about mice from some websites and read reviews of those mice, because reviews try to be objective, but are subjective. How a shape fits into your hand totally depends on you, so one has to buy some mice. Also, those 10 mice you've seen on the pic I linked you to are not all of the mice I have and I actually am proud for that. It kind of became a hobby for me to collect mice. You buy cigarettes <-> I buy mice. What's wrong with that? (Gnajda <-> Urtier)
I think that you are giving the wrong advices, because you think that everybody else thinks that the DA is the best mouse ever while in many others opinion (including me) it is not. Go say that on esreality and they will literally eat you up, flame you to death.

Peace, mkay?

Quoteall of them are top notch and worth the money

How would they worth the money if you only use one of them.

QuoteI want to believe.

I had a Copperhead when I was a highsens user in my early et years. I also had G5 and I had a shitloads of mousemats. e: and it's my 2nd DiamondBack

Quoteaying the DA is the best mouse on the world while saying you don't know which shape suits him best = hypocriticism at its best.


You can get used to shapes you know that, right? You won't be better with a perfect shaped mouse which is total crap. Technical specifications is what I am building my arguement on, not on it's shape.
It was hard to get used to Logitech's shape after Razez's and opposite way.
Parent
QuoteHow would they worth the money if you only use one of them.

because I'm confident I use the things which suits me best, the one I feel most comfortable with. also I have a little museum of gaming mice : )

I believe you, just that our discussion turned into a little flamewar and some of my responses within the same post were more serious/reasoned than others.

You can't adjust to some mice because of your hand and if you don't want to adjust, i.e. you were using a specific grip style for years (I use claw grip) and you don't want to change it. Palm grip feels really uncomfy too me. Also, the DA has glossy sides - another con. Technical specifications of the MX518 and many others are nearly as good as the one of the DA. You don't need better above a barrier. For example, let's take DPI and pooling rate: Practically nobody needs more than 500 Hz pooling rate & 800 DPI while some may prefer more in this case, but not in the case of perfect control. Try moving the MX518 fast enough to cause neg. accel - I doubt you'll be able to. And if you rely that much on tech. spec than I have something for you that I didn't mention, because it was the opposite of the point I stated. The Steelseries Xai and Logitech G9X surpass the DA 3G/3.5G in terms of DPI and perfect control.

Again, peace??
Parent
which one of those you like the most?
Parent
I have more than just them.. It really depends on what grip you use and whether you prefer prediction or not. Other than that, if you for example need side buttons etc.

Many guys say that you can get used to no prediction, but I disagree. To decently aim headies you need prediction in my opinion ; ) I think it does depend somewhat on sensitivity though, because I am able to aim really decently with mice that don't have prediction, but with a smaller sensitivity. For Quake I would prefer mice without prediction though.

I see you're using some of the best gear available: DA & Titan - why not stay with them.
Other than that I really like the IMO 1.1, MX518 and Ikari Optical (though I have an Ikari laser, it's decent too).. other than those that are no on the pic: Logitech G1 (G3), Razer Diamondback (even the 3G), Logitech G9, Razer Salmosa (Abyssus), Razer Krait..

and I would absolutely love to buy the Zowie EC1/2 and Steelseries Xai. Also I need to buy an older Logitech MX518 with 1600 DPI, preferably that one branded by Asus (looks better). A Zowie 1.1 would be lovely too ; )

Other stuff than mice that I want to test currently: Zowie G-TF, Zowie Swift, Razer Blackwiddow, Zowie Celeritas and A LOT of headphones & headsets : )
Parent
yeah i think DA & everglide are just great not going to change until either one wears out or breaks :) but isnt prediction bad for ultimate super tracking, i mean, you're more precise with no prediction, hand and crosshair movements match 1:1 at all times. (it is the easy-draw-line -thingie i suppose) or does the prediction have any relevance for real? i do have low sens though :D

i'd like to give those microsoft IMO/WMOs a go some day but i dont think they have sidebuttons im used to.. better for quake maybe.
Parent
My leather couch works just fine :)
I've been using my MX518 for about a year now. I have to say that after trying out a friend's raZer eXactmat and Puretrak Talent, I'm safe to say that personally I prefer the MX518 + QcK+ combination most. Slides better than on sperm.
"raZer eXactmat and Puretrak Talent" did you just try different mousepads or what?
Parent
apparently some cf users have wet dreams about the puretrak talent, less about the exactmat, but the qck+ convinced me as well as feuersturm in his mousepad review.
Parent
the qck is way old, it was on the market back then in 2k5 when feuersturm did his mousepads comparison.

the talent is easily better, but you are used to your qck and that's why you prefer it. I have both a talent, a qck heavy and some more too.
Parent
mx518 + razer goliathus = <3
mx518 + Roccat Taito
mx518 + QPAD XLARGE
i bought a razer goliathus some days ago (medium size) and i am really satisfied with it!
your cable will break in 2 months :(, expecially with all the snapping
you can fix it though, with some basic tools! :o
Parent
help me then :(
Parent
figure out what part of the wire is broken and cut if off! :D unless the whole cable is broken..
for me it was like the first 30 cm at the mouse-end, so i opened the mouse, cut off the first 30 cm and soldered the rest of the wire back. it worked like a charm ever since.. pm if you need further explanation
Parent
the cable is 100% sure broken where it connects to the mouse, take your mouse to pieces, cut ~10 cm of the cable (again, where it connets to the mouse) solder it back and there you go.
fixed like 5 times my g5 like this
Parent
zowie g-tf, noidpad, roccat taito
That zowie pad is shit
Parent
i have mx518 aswell.. without glides on a cloth pad (mantis control)

when i read all these comments here i guess thats a shit configuration ? :p any good advice for a cheap mouse or mousepad ?
Get mouse glides!
Parent
I'm using a steelseries 5L with my mx518
playing for a year with everglide titan, not really a fast pad, but it's a good pad. and the feeling stays the same
get ulti-mat breathe x2, its so fucking awesome + only 9 euros.
