🎓 Reddit experts on mouse pads
The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where mouse pads are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
Before I get to the list, I'll mention that it may not seem like I'm super active, but I was away from the sub for a week or so, but if you look into my posts from before that, you'll see I'm pretty active. :)
1.) Something that is blue. - I mean, it's literally blue.
2.) Something that says summer. - What says summer better than SURFING!?
3.) Something food related that is unusual. - It's a Kit Kat. But it's GREEN TEA flavored!
4.) Something you want to gift to someone else, and tell me why. - I've been trying to get /u/quickwittedslowpoke to buy this manga because it's awesome, but she hasn't yet. I really want her to read it!
5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it! - Shameless shilling. My friend wrote this book and I want him to become famous! :D
6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! - I don't really have a great reason for this, it was just on my mind because I had considered getting it as a gag gift for my uncle's birthday since his lucky number is 113 and that Pokemon is #113, but I didn't end up doing it since it wouldn't have arrived by his birthday (which already passed).
7.) Something related to dogs. - I have no idea what GSD is, sorry D:
8.) Something that is not useful, but so awesome you must have it. - It's literally just a statue. It doesn't do anything but look cute. But she's one of my favorite characters :D
9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? - This is one of the best Anime films of all time. Even if you're not into anime, I still highly recommend it. It has won COUNTLESS awards already. It's a pretty big deal in the anime community. It's got a great plot and it's so sad that if you don't cry, you have no soul.
10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain. - Zombies can't swim. Foolproof plan. They'll eventually decay in the sun and all die within a few days, and you'll be out on your cool ass boat, safe from the chaos.
11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. - I know it seems a little silly, but I'm trying to learn to cook better, and I just don't really have very good cooking tools...
12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. - Fun fact: I obsessively clean my ears. :I
13.) Something fandom related. - It's three fandoms in one! Super Smash Bros, Nintendo and Final Fantasy! :D
14.) Something ridiculously priced, more than $10,000. They exist, y’all. - Because it's eleven times what you asked :)
15.) Something with sharks or unicorns. - It was actually pretty decent.
16.) Something that smells wonderful. - At least I think it does. Needs lots of sugar though lol
17.) A toy that you wanted or had when you were a child that was the best ever, or (if it’s not on amazon) a toy that you think is pretty cool now - Does this count? I had the original back in the 80s/90s, and this is a new model with packed in games. But yeah, this shit was my childhood!
18.) Something that would be helpful for writers. - I mean, really, what're you gonna do with unsharpened pencils?
19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. - The Precure anime franchise is one of my guilty pleasures, and this character, Cure Peace, is my favorite character in the series! :D
20.) Something that is just so random and weird that it makes you laugh. - Because why the fuck not?
Sorry for being a bit late, got a little busy this weekend.
> I mainly listen to rnb and hip hop not a massive on any other genres if I'm being honest. Yes I will be in my own room on my own.
Okay, I forgot to ask. Since I am not a R&B or hip-hop listener. How much do you care about bass? If you do prefer a bass, do you like it to be more "punchy" or rather more subtle, but still "there"?
I've left the headphones out of my suggestion for now, because I need some feedback on this before I can recommend a pair of headphones.
> I already have a logitech c910 and was thinking of getting the c920 but from what I've read it really doesn't seem to be worth it?
The C910 is absolutely great. I also have this one for a long time now and still love it. Great quality and certainly good enough for most streamers. If you want to get a better webcam, I would advise to probably wait a little bit, as camera technology is still moving forward in rapid succession right now.
The C922 is actually already out now, which is the upgrade to the C920 and absolutely beats it hands down.

The CPU is extremely powerful- it has 6 cores, 12 threads and 12MB of L3 Cache. The clock is a bit low, so I would highly recommend overclocking it to 4.2-4.5 GHz.
The motherboard is called Rampage Extreme. Just... it's called Rampage Extreme for fucks sake. Has all the features you can potentially want from a motherboard and will allow for good overclocking.
32GB of really fast RAM. The standard for gaming is 8GB-1600MHz, however that does not make a lot of sense when you have 12GB of vRAM alone.
512GB of fast SSD storage for the OS, games and other important stuff. 2TB HDD for mass storage.
2 of the worlds most powerful graphics card. Combined they can max out every game on the 1440p monitor and even games that don't support SLi will do fine on a single TITAN (mostly because games with really need a ton of power support SLi). The clocks are low thought, so using GPU Boost 2.0 or overclocking is essential.
A high-end sound card for all your sound needs.
The cooling system: The fans/radiator for the CPU watercooling on the top, 200mm LED fan on the front, the 140mm fan on the rear side, the first kit of 120mm fans on the side and the second kit of 120mm fans for cooling the 2 SSDs and the HDD. The case has a fan controller so that's a plus. I also put high-quality Thermal paste.
The power supply, while 1200 Watt is 80+ Platinum certified, so it should be really efficient.
I put in a Blu-ray drive in case you want to watch Blu-ray.
We talked about the peripherals, but taking a look at your profile you are a LoL player and I decided to put in a mouse for MOBAs. It should also do well in all kinds of games.
I also added in the cables. As far as I know the motherboard comes with only 2 sATA cable and you have 4 sATA devices (the SSDs, the HDD and the Blu-ray player). The HDMI cable is for the 27" monitor and the DVI cables are for the other 2 monitors.
Questions?
>Widowmaker is actually a viable option
She is still not great on PC.
>Besides seat time is there any useful tips you guys can give a recently converted?
Unlike a controller, where you were require to turn your sensitivity way up in order to turn around in a reasonable amount of time, you want to turn your mouse sensitivity way down for precise aiming. If you need to spin around quickly at lower sensitivity, you have the ability to swing your arm across your desk to do so.
Also, buy a good mousepad which is large enough for you to do that. I use a Razer Goliathus Speed Edition. It is pretty inexpensive and works great.
Other options:
[Zowie] (https://www.amazon.com/Zowie-Large-Gaming-Mouse-G-SR/dp/B00T56XWZU)
Steel Series
All three of those mousepads get used by professional Overwatch players.
I personally use an older design of the Goliathus with the same tracking surface but a different cosmetic pattern. Some of the new Razer graphics look like the Hulk jizzed on a roofing shingle and they may clash with your gear or sense of taste. They also make a "Control" edition with more texture, but I find it rough and distracting if my wrist touches it and it slows down my mouse slightly without really increasing my accuracy.
I have never used a SteelSeries mousepad, but they are known for good products. I own a keyboard made by them and it is great.
I have never heard of Zowie before checking what gear Overwatch Pros use, but I am interested in how basic it is while presumably having good enough quality for professional gaming. I really enjoy the understated look.
Mouse Pad - Reflex Lab Pro
I've used this everyday for over 6 months now and it's holding up well. One of my favorite purchases, having so much space for my mouse hand is great for competitive FPS games.
Mouse - Zowie EC1-A
This mouse is the real deal. Great responsiveness, feels great in my hand, a button with 4 DPI settings that I can't accidentally press in the middle of play, and no annoying software to install. Very simple with just 5 buttons.
Keyboard - Corsair Vengeance K65 Mechanical
Wasn't my first choice of keyboard, but I have no regrets. Keys feel great with red switches, although it's very loud without any dampeners. Recommend o-rings if you have an open mic.
Wrist Rest - Glorious Gaming
Despite the cringey name, they seem to have a decent reputation for their products, and though I've had mine for a short time, it's lasted well and has been very comfortable. I was unsure of the thickness at first, but I find I prefer a thicker wrist rest.
Headphones - Superlux HD681 EVO
I'm not anything close to an audiophile, so I can't comment too much on the sound. They're plenty loud enough, and sound decent enough to me. More importantly, for me anyway, is their durability and comfortability. They've lasted me nearly 2 years now and the foam pieces are only just starting to crack and wear down with heavy use. They even included a spare pair, which I haven't felt the need to use yet. They're great to use for extended periods of time as well. They don't start to bother me unless they're not sitting right, or I've just spent too long at the computer.
Microphone - Zalman Zm-Mic1
Has a 10ft wire and is under $10. It's kind of hard to beat, as far as mics go. Very durable, mine is 5 years old. I even spilled rum and coke in it once, still works fine. The sound quality is rather lacking, but that's to be expected from a mic this cheap.
Gamepad - Xbox One controller for emulators, Steam Controller for everything else
A good headphone stand:

A cool glass/metal stand thing to put under your tower or monitor:

A big long mouse+keyboard pad that like a rug, ties your whole desk together:

A cool scissor arm to hold & move your microphone:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DY1F2CS/
For things that are more significant than accessories: Get some active studio monitor speakers, a nice dac/pre-amp/mixer, a mechanical or electrostatic-capacitive keyboard, a REALLY nice office chair, and stuff like that. A good battlestation is about a lot more than a big monitor, cool case, and some good processing power.
Bro. It doesn’t matter what mouse. Just pick a mouse within your budget that fits your palm. You should be comfortable with it. The next is to set the sensitivity right. Once you get your sensitivity correct, you can frag away. I personally use a Logitech G602. Nice mouse. But yeah I wanted a wireless mouse and it fit right. Go for a wired one for that price since it will give a better latency. Don’t buy these cheap 1500 and 2000 rupees gaming mouse. Buy a real gaming mouse that costs 4 or 5K upwards with a decent Mat for the mouse. Not sure how much the Razer Deathadder costs. But it’s a decent starters mouse.
If your budget is absolutely 500. Just pick a mouse that fits your palm perfectly and wired. You will be good to go.
And don’t worry. Mouse these days last over 1 or 2 years if used properly and not abused. Don’t go for the flashy iball mouse that is too tiny and transparent and shows off its innards.
If you absolutely want it. Here. Go for it.

Throw this mousepad also in.

And enjoy the frags.
Personal experience - Logitech can take a beating and the Deathadder is no less. Lemme know if you’re local, maybe you can buy my DA. PM me if interested. I’ll give a mousepad also for free.
I'm new to this whole thing so I feel kinda odd already putting myself forward for things.. but ya know, gotta start somewhere I guess. I'll go for this.
Thanks for the very generous post my friend, be safe and have fun.

Awesome! If you'd like a recommendation, there's a nice cheap one on Amazon that should also be pretty good quality:
https://www.amazon.com/Personalized-Custom-Playmat-STITCHED-Tictaktoys/dp/B01J0CTFHM/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Custom+playmat&qid=1574691434&sr=8-4
I haven't bought one myself from this seller, but I'm planning to soon with a design I'm working on right now. The reviews are very positive, and they include reinforced stitched edges/borders, which is really nice.
I recently bought one of these and so far it's been excellent.
https://www.amazon.com/Reflex-Lab-Stitched-Waterproof-Smooth-36/dp/B01CPX9OY2/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1479422515&sr=8-9&keywords=gaming%2Bmat&th=1
It's big enough for my mouse, keyboard, phone, drink coaster, and a few other things. I opted for the largest one as I have to push my kb/mouse under a shelf to keep the cats from waking the computer up at night, and I wanted to be able to do that without moving the mat. I love the way it feels and looks; the edge color options are nice and allow you to match to your style. I'm hoping it'll last me a good number of years.
+1 to the other guy, it feels really sluggish at first but you will really notice your accuracy improving after you get used to it. In real games you should rarely have to do a 180 and never more than that, I would say you want to be able to spin about 270 degrees with a full mat swipe. I would also recommend getting a bigger mouse mat. I got this one and its amazing. GL
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Yeah, and I'm not saying that the Infensus is a bad pad simply because it doesn't get attention or because I can't find a review of it online. It may be a great pad that unfortunately doesn't get the recognition it deserves. I'm simply just the type of person that likes to be informed about a product as much as possible before purchasing it, by watching reviews and reading what people have to say about it. And that information is simply not available out there about the Infensus.
Also, quick question. You said that there is no reason cheap AliExpress pads would be any different from the current offerings of most gaming brands. So what you're saying is that basically a pad like this is basically just as good as most gaming pads out there, including Glorious pads?
This is where I got mine. I love the stitched edging and if you use some sort of imaging program to ensure your resolution is fantastic you will get comments on it. Everyone notices mine, mentions the stitching, and design! Because it is what I do lol I will post a link to the order space and my mat...'cause I like showing off my stuffs.

Hello /r/mechanicalkeyboards,
seeing how I spend a lot of time at my computer to the point that the keys of my current keyboard are starting to deform and I am in a position to invest in long-lasting peripherals, I am on the hunt for my first mechanical keyboard.
In terms of size, I would like a 105-key full-size ISO layout. Since I use voice coms in which I would prefer not to sound like a machine gun while typing, I think MX Brown switches are the right choice for me, but feel free to suggest other options. I'm using a Silent Monsters Gaming and Office XXL mouse pad which so far has proven quite effective in dampening keyboard sounds, however I'm not quite sure how much it would help with a mechanical keyboard. In terms of use, I would say mostly typing/coding and occasional gaming.
So far so easy. Here comes the hard part: I live in Germany and I am using a Mac. Now, I know that Mac keyboards are not that different from Windows keyboards (except for the arrangement of OS-key/alt to both sides of the space bar, which can be mitigated both in hardware and in software, and the possibly dead key to the right of the space bar) but when I'm dropping serious cash on a keyboard, I would prefer not to make these kinds of compromises.
So far, I've looked at the following options:
Finding one with MX Brown switches is proving difficult, though.
Not quite sure how expensive shipping will be. Also, I'll probably have to fiddle around with Inkscape to tune the layout a bit.
I'd peg my budget at ≤150$ but if you present me with a compelling option, I might be willing to spend a bit more.
In terms of miscellaneous details, I'm rather flexible:
Sorry if this got a bit too long.
Edit: I went for a CODE 105-key full size, despite the rather high cost for me in Germany.
I have always used extended mousepads, started with the Razer Goliathus and then just whatever looked cool for cheap on amazon noname branding.
 
About a month ago I found this gigantic thing that I love. tons of space for mousing, space to move the keyboard around as i need to get comfortable, and still space on the left hand side for my headphones, phone, and drink to be in reach:

They already have a Logitech mouse.
Get a nice IPS monitor and a mech keyboard, that'll give you the most enjoyment for your dollar:
 
Acer G227HQL 21.5-Inch HD IPS Monitor $99.99
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-G227HQL-Abi-21-5-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B00JB6HCHI/
It's IPS and 21.5" @ 1080P, which gives you a nice, high pixel density.
 
Logitech G610 Orion Brown Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard $79.99
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CDYB8F6
It's Logitech, so it'll match your mouse, the Cherry MX Brown key switches will be a pleasure to type on and its just a white backlight instead of tacky RGB.
 
Then get a gaming mat for your keyboard and mouse:
 
Black Extended Gaming Mouse Mat / Pad - XXL Large $14.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014OOWMHQ/
Its big and no branding, so it won't look tacky.
 
After that, maybe some nice desktop speakers:

These will blow away your OontZ Angle.
Update: I got this version of the QcK - http://www.amazon.in/SteelSeries-Qck-Sims-67292-Mouse/dp/B00LIW8HU4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491795599&sr=8-1&keywords=qck+sims+edition
I don't know if it's any different from the standard QcK surface. It probably is because it's printed, but I bought it because it was dirt cheap. In any case, this QcK is pretty darn good for the price and is slicker than the Gigantus. I'm not entirely sure which surface I prefer right now since I'm aiming well on both, but the size (and aesthetics) of the Gigantus wins out for me.
Agreed with the many suggestions for the QcK heavy. For an alternative recommendatin, I came across this extended mouse pad and it's been fantastic for FPS gaming (I play a lot of CSGO too): SubZERO Gaming TYKA Mouse Pad
They have a few sizes, using the extended mammoth and it covers almost my entire desk. Been really happy with it!
I use this ikross thing, perfect size for me. QCK+ is too big, and every other mousepad apart from ones that used to come with graphics cards are too small, width wise, they are like squares and I personally prefer the rectangular ones, lol.

I realize this isn’t a large one but this is what I use. It’s pretty great
Well, I have a Manticor and I pretty much have no complaints with it. The tracking on it is excellent with every mouse I've used with it (both laser and optical) and it's a decent size. The build quality is superb, it still looks and performs as well as the day I got it.
I have seen on forums that it isn't as fast/slippery as other hard mats though (which I can't confirm as it's the first/only hard mat I've owned). It is on the expensive side though, and you could probably get an equally competent mat for slightly cheaper.
Reflex Labs heavy mouse pad. They've got a few with different color stitching. I'd recommend this one as it's large, it doesn't move and it's easy to clean. I'm not sure what I spilled on it, but I recently just threw it in the washing machine to clean it, and it was good as new.

The largest one of these. Very good quality even for the price! It's honestly quality of a $50 pad I love it.
Well its the "Speed" edition http://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Goliathus-Omega-Speed-Fragged/dp/B002PIL22A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376851293&sr=8-2&keywords=razer+goliathus
Its my first mat but its really good! Very smooth and just enough room to be comfortable

Mouse-pad: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW7V6W
Now you could go with a 2060 Super instead of a 1660 Ti, but it's a fair bit more, and the 1660 Ti should be enough for what you want to use it for.
I can't at all vouch for the quality, shipping or anything else of these because ive never ordered one but you reminded me of a listing I saw on Amazon so here ya go and hope it helps:
Personalized Custom Playmat w/ STITCHED EDGE Any image you want https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J0CTFHM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Plxuzb58Z2EMY
Def recommend getting a larger mousepad. Maybe one like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014OOWMHQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Au6-AbC5FABAT.
You should also utilize the space on that desk a little better by moving your case further right. It’ll give you room to mount, or at least stand those speakers up correctly. Also a headset stand would go a long way.
Another thing that could help improve your setup is cleaning up those cables strewn across your desk. You can do this easily by using something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XZPYP7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bA6-AbVKJMBSB
Sorry for the long comment my dude. I’d give your setup a 5/10 but that number won’t be hard to increase with some minor adjustments.
I have this Victsing at home and its soft and comfy
Victsing
However, I use a Logitech G440 Hard Surface Pad at work and it's like a miracle. With my Logitech G602 mouse, it honestly feels comparable to sliding around an Air Hockey Puck.
Logitech G440
As always your milage may vary!
Hey, yeah a setup like this would work for movies on a TV just as well. Putting the speakers on stands gives you the best sound quality, but you can put the speakers on a TV stand without problems too. Though I would advise putting something underneath them for isolation (small foam blocks or something like this).
Now for movies small bookshelf speakers might not have enough low-end, so a subwoofer would be a good addition if you really want deep rumbling bass. Otherwise for normal music (non-EDM) just the speakers should be sufficient.
There are a lot of different types of mousepads. I like to have a lot more control over my movements so I go for a more control mousepad.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Goliathus-Medium-CONTROL-Gaming/dp/B00EUPVQ04
But they also have things that have a smoother surface and your mouse moves a lot more freely.
Example: https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Goliathus-Speed-Cosmic-Gaming/dp/B01LYV7U25/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480177861&sr=1-1&keywords=razor+speed+mousepad
It's all up to preference. If you're fine with it on the desk than just go with it.

Mouse mats are like 5 bucks like this one: https://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Stitched-Premium-Textured-Non-Slip-10-2%C3%978-3%C3%970-8/dp/B075WW7V6W/ref=sr_1_10?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1549399870&sr=1-10&keywords=mouse+mat
I bought something similar to this not sure if you need it or not.
BTW your setup looks clean and amazing, one thing I don't like is the XL mouse pad :)
This mousepad any good? Super cheap. https://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Stitched-Premium-Textured-Non-Slip-10-2%C3%978-3%C3%970-08/dp/B075WW7V6W?th=1
I use my Sensei with the QcK and like it a lot. No problems with it or my G400 or Rival. Not to mention it's super affordable and great for the price. The QcK Mass is only $9.33 on Amazon.
I'm actually looking at this Perixx cloth pad because it's super affordable and looks solid. I've owned a Perixx mouse before and liked it a lot, but just passing it on as something to look at.

why don't you get a hard mouse pad?
I have this one and I love it :)
If you’re looking for a high quality desk mat, I recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/Gaming-Ridge-46x17-3x0-20-Superior-resistant/dp/B07CZYMPVP?th=1&psc=1
When browsing Amazon, it seemed like every desk mat was ultra thin and I didn’t like that. I also wanted something massive so invested in this one
i use this one
http://www.amazon.com/iKross-Quality-Textured-Surface-Non-Slip/dp/B00O1U19OG
It's honestly great, doesn't slip and has a smooth surface. Plus, it's really cheap
Thanks!
I got that map off Amazon for pretty cheap, here is the link:
Reflex Lab Large Extended Gaming Mouse Pad Mat XXL, Stitched Edges, Waterproof, Ultra Thick 5mm, Wide & Long Mousepad 36"x12"x.20" White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CPX9O6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_L9LestwxG4Bwr
Check amazon i picked up a massive deskpad which is awesome and it was only like 39.99 cad.
SoloQ Extended Mega Size Custom... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07DC38JVC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Edit: i just rechecked and its not that cheap anymore sorry. But there are a few others for cheap.
this is a really good, really cheap and GIANT gaming mousepad that has amazing ratings so i recommend it a lot. i dont own this pad because my desk is too small from it.

They're Adam Hall Isolation Pads: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YFWUDO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When we purchased them back in February of 2014 we paid $22.79 and shipping was free. Ignoring the price increase, my girlfriend likes them a lot and would recommend them.
The monitors are HS8's as well. Not enough low end on the HS5's and the mids are different.
>cushion things that angle them nicely
Monitor isolation. Tidies up the frequency range by isolating the sound vibrations so they don't vibrate the desk/stand/whatever surface the monitors are on.
I have this brand for my 305's and they work perfectly and are cheaper than other equivalents. The ones in the link will fit your 308's.
That table looks fantastic (bonus points for the cute kitten)!
Did you just have the wood laying around/in your yard, or did you buy something for the project?
As a few others have alluded to (some less helpful than others), it's generally not the best idea to have your speakers on the same surface as the turntable unless you have some sort of isolation pads. It can cause unwanted resonance and distortion. Especially because the LP60 is already not the best tracking table out there, it may be something you want to consider when you have the time/funds. I like these for isolation if you're keen to keep the speakers on the table.
But seriously, great work on that woodwork!
this is something i kinda wanted haha i love deadpool.
This one Silent Monsters Gaming. Got it for 13€ on Amazon Germany, really suprised how good quality it is for this price can only recommend
Okay, still you could always get an actual hard mousepad like a Logitech G440, that way you don't have to use two mousepads, what is the benefit of having the steelseries mousepad underneath anyway?
You don't need a cloth one if you like hard ones. I got this one because I Nothing had used it and I love it.

Oh yeah, and I've got blues, so they start off pretty loud!
And the pad is super nice, my wife opened the box this afternoon and told me what was in it while at work, so I did some quick research online, and nothing but positive reviews on it... here it is on amazon with 1400 reviews, averaging 4.9
On mobile but found it on Amazon. Placed my order for the Pro 36 Tall Heavy (https://www.amazon.com/Reflex-Lab-Extended-Stitched-Waterproof/dp/B01CPX9OY2?keywords=Reflex%2Bxxl&qid=1536289039&sr=8-2&ref=mp_s_a_1_2&th=1&psc=1), but the standard will be on stock on 9/12. Thanks for the heads up!
If you don’t mind waiting a couple days on amazon for a mouse pad the VicTsing Mouse Pad is a great one! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW7V6W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-QW9Bb0M8SWX8

For those of you who love the bed life and don't need this advice, double advice time! I highly suggest one of these, one of these, along with a decent laptop and mouse.
Bought it on Amazon like 4 years ago. Looks like they don't have the one I bought. They do have this one that looks identical except it doesn't have any branding.

I've never used a hard mouse pad so these are just my findings:
The 9HD is 12.6" x 10.6" x 0.08"
Razer Destructror 2 13.98" x 10.04" x 0.09"
Logitech G440 13.39" x 11.02" x 0.12"
CORSAIR MM400 13.9" x 10.9" x 0.1"
GP3 HEATON 16.54 x 13.78 x 0.08 in But its ~88$
Fnatic Gear Boost Control Pro 15.75" x 12.01" x 0.07"
Theres also Aluminum mouse pads if you're into that
example: RAZER Manticor Aluminum 13.98" x 10.04" x 0.09"
For comparison one of the most used soft pads, BenQ ZOWIE G-SR Large, is 18.9" x 15.7" x 0.14"
It seems like they stopped making a lot of the actually large hard pads since most people use soft.

Not gonna lie, I want one of these, but I want an RGB version. I've already ended up with more RGB than I expected in my system and it's peripherals, might as well go all out.
It's a random one I found on Amazon, and it's actually quite nice, very thick padding.
Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CPX9O6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0gzGDb3547CN2
I bought this a while ago and have been happy with the quality. Main reason I picked it up is because all the name brands put really gaudy logos or designs over their mouse pads and I wanted just a plain black one.

I found mouse pads to be a fantastic alternative. Moreso when they cover most of my dinner table.
I just searched for mousepads on Amazon and the first one with boobs they suggested was this one with Deadpool's "breasts" on the third page. Then the first real anime tit-pad was this one on the fourth page.
I don't ever watch anime or anything like that so maybe that has something to do with it
This any good? I want a mousepad faster than the QCK xxl which is my current pad. I also want the larger 46in size. Here’s the link https://www.amazon.com/Gaming-Ridge-46x17-3x0-20-Superior-resistant/dp/B07CZYMPVP

The QCK is also a good pad, a bit larger than your average pad.
Give this a shot?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014OOWMHQ?th=1
The dimensions look the same, and the black + no visible branding will look great against your tabletop, imo
You don't need separate components: send the magni back in for the Uber mod if possible, this will let you control volume from your headphone amp. If you can't, the Sys will be ok.
You should also get proper stands: if you find isoacoustics too expensive, stack a few of these or get just a pair and use something to increase the height (books or whatever).
More importantly, get JBL LSR305s (or 308s if you have the space, which would allow you to skip the sub) instead of audioengines (which are really bad for their price - the 8" sub is also ridiculous) and eventually an SVS SB-1000 subwoofer, which integrates a crossover with a high pass filter for the main speakers.
You can get well sewn and quality mousepads or whole deskmats for pretty cheap nowadays if you don't buy into the whole gamerwear and branded stuff or have a very specific preference towards a certain amount of traction and very specific roughness of the weave.
Generic pads/mats usually cost like a third of the branded ones and are about just as good as far as tracking, traction and precision is concerned. Just be sure to find one where the logo isn't obnoxiously big as those tend to be just printed on and they will hinder or completely interrupt the tracking of sensors. It's something even almost all brands can't seem to get right, which is especially annoying when you use a smaller pad.
Example, this is the kind of deskmat you'll usually find for 9-15 bucks in one variety or another with a usual thickness of 3-4mm and usually going from 60x40cm to 90-40cm, it's really hard to go wrong with these. Mousepad variants are obviously a bit cheaper if you lack the space for a mat.

You can't just make your sens the same as a proplayers and expect to get better. And if you do, you need a similar sized mousepad aswell, cause thats what your sens should be based on.
His mousepad. Yours should be a similar size or bigger.
Btw. dont change your sensitivity, they're close enough.
Are absorbtion plates like this worth it when you place your speakers including a big subwoofer on the table?

No sweat man good luck with it. I had to go through the same thing switching from console to pc. Just as a headsup this the size of the mousepad you want to get if you go the kbm route.

in case you're interested in owning one
Get a vipamz xxxl mouse mat, I’ll see if I can find a link. It works really well for me and it is very soft.
Edit: HERE! Red/black mouse pad
Looks like these
i like these extended mouse mats
If you like the feel of the desk, consider getting a hard mouse pad.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J0CTFHM If you go to additional sellers it has an option to buy from MariasToys or something like that for just $14. That's who I purchased from.
I deleted my own comments cause i didnt read your requirements.
To answer your question, i would recommend getting THIS (go for red switches)
For mouse, go for THIS
For mousepad, go for THIS (choose a pattern) (it will cost you 1200/-, including import duty and customs)
There's a lot of choices that come under $15 with shipping included... How big exactly did you want?
Here's a few around the size of a QCK+:
Supermat $8: http://www.amazon.com/HandStands-15S07-Super-Mouse-Pad/dp/B000SR120M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419505283&sr=8-2&keywords=super+mousepad
Perixx DX-2000XL (With edge stitching, 1000 without) $12: http://www.amazon.com/Perixx-DX-2000XL-Gaming-Control-Mouse/dp/B00GB0IF50/ref=sr_1_101?ie=UTF8&qid=1419505427&sr=8-101&keywords=mousepad
iKross G70 $11: http://www.amazon.com/iKross-Quality-Textured-Surface-Non-Slip/dp/B00O1U19OG/ref=sr_1_96?ie=UTF8&qid=1419505418&sr=8-96&keywords=mousepad
Sentey (any of these large) < $11: http://www.amazon.com/Sentey%C2%AE-Mousepad-Edge-style-Standard-Friction/dp/B00IXQGSCW/ref=sr_1_108?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1419505427&amp;sr=8-108&amp;keywords=mousepad
Yep. I got these for my center speaker. Only used the skinnier half and used the thicker stuff for some bookshelves in my office. Gets the job done.
I refer to a hard pad like: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G440-Hard-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B01CCQDZVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510884686&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=logitech+hard+mousepad.
The surface is plastic, not cloth.
I have this one. Comes in various sizes and is pretty darn cheap but it's quality.
Reflex Lab Large Extended Gaming Mouse Pad Mat XXL, Stitched Edges, Waterproof, Ultra Thick 5mm, Wide & Long Mousepad 36”x12”x.20" White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CPX9O6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_h4eTAbV89AWMN
The only function of spikes is to prevent speakers from being too wobbly on thick shag carpetting, so they serve a purpose there.
Put some foam between the stand and the speakers to help decouple the speakers for a tighter sound. Think yoga mat or children's play surface foam. Inch thick will do the trick. https://www.amazon.com/Adam-Hall-SPADECO2-Monitor-Isolation/dp/B007YFWUDO of buy those and cut to fit your speakers with a good kitchen knife on top of a cutting board. These pads and others like it allow aiming speakers slightly down, straight, or slightly upward.
When you place the stands on the hardwood floor, what you hear as 'bass' is actually out of phase resonances of the floor. Your housemates or neighbours will perceive this with much annoyance =}
Bookshelf speakers rarely have any bass to speak of though under 100 hz - getting a decent sub wíll do the trick.
If the bass is totally absent in your bookshelves it may also be due to poor placement - they may be too far apart from each other, and or the room resonances may be cancelling out the speaker's output in some areas of the room. Try placing them closer together - no closer than distance to yourself when listening - and a little bit away from the wall behind them. http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/waspe.html a decent guide ( except for the mentioning of spikes on a wooden floor - utterly useless )
Amazon link if you or anyone else wants to get the same one. I opted for the "Pro 36 heavy" Looks like it went up in price by a dollar.
I did find some with nice prints on Aliexpress for half the price, but the stitching is not as nice, the dimensions are slightly different (27.5" x 15.75" and half as thick). Some people may prefer the thinner material though. I ordered one with a Great Wave off Kanagawa print for my wife.
Get a hard surface mouse pad like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CCQDZVU/
It is still a hard surface that will move really fast, and it won't tear up your mouse feet.
I found it on Amazon in stock...

A cheap 14€ amazon mousepad. Has the same quality of a Steelseries Qck+ https://www.amazon.de/Silent-Monsters-Gaming-Office-Mauspad/dp/B01FFFSORA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492757453&amp;sr=8-3
I do it regularly, maybe once a year, to get it cleaned properly and so far it hasn't changed a bit. For reference, this is my mousepad and by washing it I mean washing it manually in slightly warm water, not in a washing machine. After all, it's just a piece of fabric and rubber.
Well you would need to put absorbers under your monitors so your desk won’t vibrate.
Personally, I prefer floor stands because they give me some extra space on my desk but it’s really up to you.
Hard mousemats aren't terribly uncommon, particularly from companies that offer high end gaming products:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DY1HTU6/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CCQDZVU/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NEFQZU/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHK18JI/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DU5244Q/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0149QBN0G/
if you don't want to move your speakers, in the meantime, you can always use isolation pads. I currently have the same speaker placement but the speakers rests on isolation pads. I don't listen to the speakers often as I rather use my headphones. But eventually I'll get some nicer bookshelf speakers + stands.
A quick search shows me they had a deadpool boobie mouse pad. I almost want to buy it.
http://www.amazon.com/Seiorca-Marvel-Comics-Deadpool-Boobs/dp/B01CQAKA7Y/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1463068276&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=mousepads+anime
For the monitors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007YFWUDO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hdwHybJ0K7DXK
For the sub: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SVRLR06/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bewHybD0TB878
Get some isolation pads, that’ll tighten up the bass. Also, unless you are using the desk while listening, move the speakers closer to the front.

Might I suggest
Medium 320x250
Med-Large 330x280
Large 400x320
Extra Large 450x350
Just a standard all-black mousepad
Black Extended Gaming Mouse Mat / Pad - XXL Large, Wide (Long) Mouse Pad, Stitched Edges, Speed Silky Smooth Surface - 36"x12"x0.12"
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014OOWMHQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YPI0AbP6EXQ44
Had it for a year or two, it's decent. I've run it through the washing machine a couple times to remove the light dirty spot that builds up under the mouse area and it looks brand new when I do. I don't think it's as smooth as some of the better pads though.
Ah, here we go.

How is this compared to this one that was posted here not too long ago?

This is my mouse pad link
My keyboard is a Razer Black Widow 2014, sadly it's green so I turned off the LEDs for the photos.
You could go to a craft store and get you something like a sheet of felt and cut it to the size of your desk and use a staple gun to attach it. While not the best for a mouse, it is still better for your arms and skin. As for a mouse pad, I got this one off Amazon, but it is no longer on sale. This one looks to be a decent price for a similar quality.
You need one of these. I'm in pain just looking at your mouse on that filthy surface.

For 12 bucks this is perfect. No logo, huge as hell, and feels quality from my limited experience. That red trim is not as bright as pictured, though. To me that was a good thing.
No, you're correct. If you're long periods of time sitting at a desk then yes, most likely it has something to do with poor circulation.
in other words:
Further question @OP: Do you suffer from pins and needles, numbness or a tingling sensation in your fingers? If so that might be indicative of RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome, so go see a doctor.
I'm wondering if you can help me out here, I have a sizable 12" 300W polk subwoofer that I really love, but since moving into my latest apartment, I find I can never use it.
I live on the top floor with neighbors below that do not appreciate the room shaking. I put down about 2" of foam. 1" of carpet padding (had it sitting around) and 1" of foam from the inside of a pelican gun case. This didn't seem to mitigate the problem at all. Even at low levels the apartment still seemed to shake.
Would an isolation pad really solve this problem?
I've been tossing around the idea of suspending the subwoofer from the ceiling using a wooden platform and steel cable. I get this would transfer the vibration to the ceiling and rafters, but no one lives above me. I've found several forums where this worked great for people in apartments, I'm just waffling between suspending my giant sub or shelling out $60+ for an isolation pad. I am leaning toward suspending it because then it doesn't take up floor space and my cats cannot wreck my cone. Perhaps even suspending with a thin vibration pad.
Edit:
What of these? http://www.amazon.com/Adam-Hall-SPADECO2-Monitor-Isolation/dp/B007YFWUDO/
I wouldn't mind dropping $23 in case I cannot return them if they don't work, but they seem significantly cheaper than everything I've seen. Although the reviews are good.
