by Cwrd • 29 Dec 2009, 14:15 • Forums › Enemy Territory
ahoiej! Hmm.. So I'm looking for a mousemat for G5. After I found out that the sticky movement of mouse wasnt cuz of firmware inside the mouse it has to be mousemat! On the table it moves almost normally but on mat it does some weird shit.

I have Qck+ and Xray Aqua which im using now.

So plz Crossfire ppl Pimp my journal and gimme some tips!

thx

e: oh and it has to be big!

I'd rather go with the Razer Mantis Speed because FPS shooters usually require you to have a rather low sens so you move your mouse faster and more often.
The Control edition is rather for high sens gamers.

It wears off pretty quick and gets really smooth pretty fast depending on how much you play.

I have mine for almost a year now and it hasn't so far. And I can tell you that I do play a lot.
Bad mouse maybe? ;)

I was assuming exactmat is petty much the same, mine wore down pretty fast on both sides using S&S Padsurfers and I don't even ply much :(

codethief 29 Dec 2009, 19:24
No, the exactMat is totally different. I had it, too, but you're right it doesn't last very long.

INSTi 29 Dec 2009, 21:05
Well since the control side is the same as the smooth side now I guess I'm just gonna wait for it to die and see if I can get my old funcmat F10.s somewhere, seems like it disapeared or is totally overpriced :(

hmm ye might be, got a pretty low sens aswell, but works fine :-)

Everglide Titan. If your mouse still acts weird on it I advise you to raise your sens or buy a normal mouse. (read: no laser)

Edit: I'm currently testing the NOIDpad. It's a bit faster than a Qpad CT, kinda has the same surface though and I really hope it doesn't wear out in no time.

Parent

urtier 29 Dec 2009, 14:47
Those 2 Euro pads are usually a lot smaller and wear out pretty fast as well :-P

custom one? :D
Parent

Shuki 29 Dec 2009, 15:39
Custom ones are a pain because you have to send them a 2400*1700 picutre, evolution is the nicest imo.
Parent
▼
h8m3 29 Dec 2009, 15:45
not rly hard to make a cool/funny 2400x1700 picture + you always may interpolate lower picture
Parent
▼
Shuki 29 Dec 2009, 15:56
True, but it's hard to know how well it will print on a mousemat. I made a custom one but I prefer the evolution because it printed out a lot better even though my design was greater than 2400*1700

Edit : also there is an Asus laptop with a shitty G5 in it as well xD

:D

I tried changing the cable with a G5 but the cable connector is the wrong size, and the green and red wire are the wrong way round on the razer wires. :x

Any way to switch them?

h8m3 29 Dec 2009, 19:00
pull them out of that connector and swap them?

Shuki 29 Dec 2009, 20:11
Each one is attached with a tiny bit of solder, so did you not switch the connectors but instead solder them directly?
Parent

h8m3 29 Dec 2009, 20:22
razer wire & mx518 wire werent soldered O_o
I only had to swap 3 wires on each mouse' connector(they're the same) to swap the cables

I'll switch the connectors over if I can prize them open. Then it will be allright.

Na, I took the plain green one. No idea what it's called exactly :-P
Parent

Shuki 29 Dec 2009, 17:41
Noid Green funnily enough :P

You prefer it to everglide titan?
Parent
▼
urtier 29 Dec 2009, 19:19
Ye I do. Well, incase it doesn't wear out too fast that is :p

The Titan is too slow for me (but it's prolly still the #1 cloth mat for low sens ppl) and I only need like 1/3 of the NOIDpad anyway :-P

When I used to play high sens ( ~7cm for 180) I did notice wear on my mousemats fairly quickly, especially on Qck and etc due to using the same area of the mousemat all the time.

Since I am using a lower sens now ( ~22cm for 180) and most of my palm now is on the mouse, mousemat wear is hardly an issue anymore.

I really like the noidpad in terms of its surface and glide. Also the grip on the back pretty much keeps it in the same place on my glass desk was an issue with my Qpad CT as I press down fairly hard on my mousemat when I shoot.

my experience with g5 was that it was the best mouse so far: better than mx310 or mx518 which last i totally dislike

The noid is wearing out slower than qpads. Got my custom one since october and it's still usable, and even a QPAD 1st generation cant last this long :D.
I didnt feel a change in the glide like i could do with the qpad, it's only a slight change.

The only problem is, with the custom one, the thickness of the "colored" layer on the pad. Black color is really thin while white is a lot bigger and you can feel the difference between the 2. Now that the pad is a bit worn out, it feels quite better. (I made a black and white pad, i should've known :/)

got my noid pad for a half year now and it didnt wear out at all.

untill now, i tried to clean it with warm water and a cloth, but somehow i rubbed the dust inside the pad and i dont how how to get it out :<
Parent

douille 29 Dec 2009, 17:53
well maybe I was careless and I should have tried to wash it like you told me you were ! (I used only hyperglides on it so I guess it doesnt come from the feet)

I guess there's no way to get that dust out of your pad without damaging it (maybe an electrostatic cloth ?). But eh, half a year is pretty good for a cloth pad :)
