Cpl Ledanek Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 both of my Ratpadz are from Falcon-NW, their great specially for my optical mouse, Logitech. I get precision on it when doing Photoshop too. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT4187 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I have a "Ratzpadz" mouse pad and love it! I have an optical mouse. See if you can find some "teflon tape" to put on your mouse. The teflon tape improves the way your mouse glides over the Ratzpadz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconSnake Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I don't use a mousepad w/ my optical, but if I did I'd go with the ratpad. I've heard a lot of good things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zantar45 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Teflon tape can be found in the hardware/plumber section of a store. There are two types I know of, adhesive and non-adhesive Unless there is a different type of teflon tape I don't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meth Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 @cpl How long have you had your ratpad? I've heard stories on how it gets worn out over a long period of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Ledanek Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 worn out? Jeez! Are they using the ratpadz as a mouse surface or brake pads? Jezz, lemme see, I got my pad from Falcon-NW five yrs ago. I used it last nite, it seems the same to me. Again, I use mine for its inteded purpose. goodluck My mother got hers yesterday, and she got a wider profile, its for her Bejeweled-Marathon.

WhiteKnight77 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I like the Covert Operations Essentials mouspad that Rocky sent me. It has a plastic surface that has small bumps all over it. I love it. I haven't had to clean my mouse once since I have started using it. Thanks Rocky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT4187 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 How long have you had your ratpad? I've heard stories on how it gets worn out over a long period of use. I've had it for about six months. No sign of wear at all. RE: Teflon tape ... Make sure you get the adhesive type. I found mine on eBay ... very cheap.

sybarite Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 k.. well- I was one of those mousepad skeptics- till I started playing AA... then.. in the midst of a firefight my avatar would start spinning in circles like a daggone ballerina. I'm sure it amused my opponents- but more often than not, I'd end up dead. After enough whining on my part, someone suggested that perhaps my mousepad was the problem. I bought the FunCpad... mostly b/c I'd heard of people using polishes, etc on their Ratpadz & I didn't want the bother. Well- it arrived about 3 weeks ago. I must say, I was giggling like a little kid seeing my mousepad encased in a shiny aluminum tin... with packaging that said "ultimate gaming pad". How silly! But- I'm sold on it. It has: two different "gaming" surfaces; a clip to hold the cord so it no longer gets strangled by my keyboard; it doesn't migrate; I now have to purposely pirouette; ... and i can't forget that nifty aluminum tin (that i've yet to find a use for... but it sure is cute). In a word... It's my only complaint was that I had to go get one of those wrist "pillows" to be a bit more comfortable... after having one built in for the last couple of years, I missed it.

Dan Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 well im sad to say my navy pad bit the dust, the sticker on top started freying at the edges, so i replaced it with a red foamy one i found on the side of the road, real old school, fat, soft, Be-utiful!!!!
