Should I Get A Hard Mouse Pad?


Recommended Posts

Optical beats laser in precision and thus game performance for a skilled user. Laser beats optical in surface recognition.

Currently, major gaming-oriented makers are generally switching to optical (LED) over laser for new products.

 

If you're using a crappy mousepad, or none at all, laser wins. But given that a cloth mousepad costs $5, and cheap and expensive ones offer equally perfect surface recognition, why bother?

 

Hard mousepads make sense for people with limited hand precision, who need a fast, smooth, unyielding surface, to get reasonable performance at low sensitivity.
