bought New Mouse!

I just bought a new mouse on ebay ,

zowie ec2 white, i already had DA v1 but huge bump was too weird for me also used g5 v2 and currently using Mx510 but shape is too low so i have to use finger tip grip .

also bought new mousepad from allsop Travel Smart Mouse Pad is constructed with the quality microfiber , before i buy a mousepad i check the threads the more threads the better (i worked with a designer for reba) this one is $7 . other gaming mousepads sell over $30 and have less threads but special spray makes it seem it has more but after it wears off your pad sucks...

pads used ;

.Razer Goliathus Control - doesn't last gets frayed quick
.WolfKing Sniper precision - not enought threads
.Steelseries plastic pad - wears out your feet quick more $$$
.Puretrak Talent - don't place your hand on top of the pad or it won't be smooth / flat anymore
.xtrac pads ripper - best one i tested, only lasts a year low price , great performance

cherry g80 with blue mx here .... a friend of mine got a realforce 87u (not sure) with topre switches ... the feel and response is kinda awesome but 220euro for a keyboard is ... too much for my budget.

Noorgrin 28 Jun 2011, 23:27
yeah also read that topre switches are supposed to be really really nice, but expensive

is that the goliathus speed edition? i was thinking of testing that next , i'm expecting at this point not to see worn threads / keep same smoothness after rinses / usage , little to no friction from razer since they come out with supposely pro pads .

Noorgrin 29 Jun 2011, 00:49
control edition, not speed

Nice collection of shit mouses right there, I wouldn't swap my mx518 for all of them together
▼
Skyshaper 28 Jun 2011, 22:23
i would trade mx518 for g400...old tech ;)

And what do you think about zowie? I'm currently playing with DA v1, but if I would change it, I'd like to try with zowie.
▼
Skyshaper 28 Jun 2011, 22:25
no need to change unless you think the shape is too big for your hand, zowie is bigger than mx518 / 510 at the back but not as huge as DA at the back for your palm.

where did you buy your gear ... a cheap mousepad would come handy right now
▼
Skyshaper 28 Jun 2011, 22:30
remember to check the threads on the mousepad , if you see tiny holes like a pin look for one that has tiniest holes in the pad that's the one to buy, if you have small mousefeet like circles or ovals IE3.0 then soft pads aren't great for your mouse what i did was buy zowie or xai feet to replace my circle feet for my current soft pad i got them in off ebay for $2 import from asia, around hong kong.

i always check ebay and local electronic stores , even 0.99 cents store carry better pads than $15-$30 pads you see , nothing to lose.

Or buy a Puretrak Talent thats the best clothpad on the market currently... I've had it for ~8 months, my Razer Goliathus had already turned to shit by this time, the Puretrak Talent still looks and feels brand new lol

slotu 28 Jun 2011, 22:12
its shit after two days i back to my old qck

Skyshaper 28 Jun 2011, 22:32
that's right i've bought many mousepads and $30 ones aren't great like i said it all matters how many threads they use and most of them spray it so it feels smooth but after a couple washes there's so much friction or mouse doesn't respond as it was new...

Except Puretrak doesn't use any 'spray' to achieve glide, I've washed it several times (though never bothered to machine wash) and I've had no noticeable decline in glide, maybe stu's was defective (bad products happen, can't say its not possible) All I can say is compared to every mousepad I've used, the Talent is the only one that has kept its glide for more than 4-6 months, regardless of how often it is washed

Skyshaper 29 Jun 2011, 00:15
ok, i will test out the puretrak talent next hopefully this cloth pad doesn't give me friction after couple of uses / rinses .
