Reddit mentions of Glorious XL Gaming Mouse Mat/Pad - Large, Wide (XLarge) Black Cloth Mousepad, Stitched Edges | 16"x18" (G-XL)

I have one of these and I love it. Plenty big enough for most players and it's very solid. It might be very similar to the XXL though, I'm not sure as I've never tried a Steelseries mousepad.

I upgraded many months ago to a Logitech G403 (wired version): https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-910-004796-Prodigy-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B01KUAMCV4

Its got a "top of the line" (according to Logitech) sensor, up to 1000hz polling rate and customizable DPI up to some ridiculously high number. Other than the specs, the size and shape of the mouse is perfect for my large hands.

Basically the way i went about choosing a mouse was I looked at what the pros use and chose the one I liked the best. Seagull uses the Logitech G Pro. So i went with the G403. Its the same exact specs as the G Pro, just with a larger and non ambidextrous design.

Why did I decide to spend more money on an expensive mouse? Smooth tracking/aim and no pixel skipping. IMO the difference between a fancy top of the line mouse and a basic shit tier mouse is night and day.

I also recommend buying a super big mousepad to go with a new mouse. I use 1600 dpi and 2.77 in game sens. My aim is super silky smooth and precise. Here's a link to my 18 x 16 inch mousepad that i love: https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Extended-Gaming-Mouse-Mat/dp/B00NOD04CY?th=1

As for keyboard i have an older Razer Black Widow Ultimate that I've used for many years. So i recommend a solid mechanical keyboard. However if you had to choose between upgrading your mouse or your keyboard, I think your mouse is a way more important upgrade since thats what you use to aim.

You can start with a SteelSeries QcK+, or QcK Heavy, depending on if you want the pad to be thicker. Personally I don't like these because they're pretty rough and give me friction burns on my wrist, so if you're worried about that happening to you there's other options like Glorious XL, Razer Gigantus, Zowie G-SR, HyperX Fury S (this one is also rough for me but not as bad as QcK), and there's many more but that's a few off the top of my head. Some are a bit pricey though. If you really want some good info and help from more people, make a post on /r/mousereview saying what games you play and what kind of features, if any, you're looking for. They help me out with mouse related stuff all the time, and I'm also pretty active there too haha.

More than likely the QcK+ will be plenty for you as long as it isn't too rough for you. Seems to be an uncommon problem, but I have talked to other people with the issue. Just try to find a pad that's at least 40cm (400mm) or 16in or so wide, that's the most important thing. Some people swear by the Allsop Raindrop XL even though it's a bit on the small side for me. If you're around 900-1000 eDPI you should be fine with this one, I like it a lot, just wish it had a couple more inches in each dimension.

I have this mousepad (the CompLexity team version) coming in tomorrow if you want to wait and see if I recommend it.

Apologies for the wall of text, I'm kind of into this stuff, probably too much haha.

The QCK limited editions are very slick, and much faster than the regular QCK.

If you want a mousepad that is similar to the regular QCK, but is stitched, take a look at the Glorious Pads. https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Heavy-Gaming-Mouse-Mat/dp/B00NOD04CY?th=1

Bigger than the QCK+ and stitched edges. You can find some feedback on r/MousepadReview

These guys make 11x36 and 18x36 mousepads that are $15-$20:

I use this with my Zowie EC2-A

These are pretty good


I started with the regular large one and have progressed in size to the XXXXL size. Never have issues running out of mat again.

It's the Glorious XL pad.

It's like a QcK+, but with a little bit faster surface.

Just food for thought here. Why don't you stick to controller until you get a bigger mouse pad? Mouse pads are not that expensive anyway.

This is the same size Shroud uses for instance: https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Gaming-Mouse-Mat-Pad/dp/B00NOD04CY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1543602777&sr=8-3&keywords=glorious+xl+mouse+pad

Your sensitivity is so incredibly high I couldn't imagine controlling that thing. My sensitivity I use which is quite popular (same as Gigz and Kraftyy) is 800 DPI @ 5 sens but I use a .7 ADS modifier.
My eDPI for look sensitivity is 4000 while yours is 36000. 9 times faster than my sens and I don't even consider my sens slow. I know people who use 800 DPI 3-4 sens.

Btw picking up your mouse is just something you have to do anyway, in all games. Watch this vid of a former CSGO pro explaining arm vs wrist aiming and having to pick up your mouse. Notice his large mouse pad but still requiring having to pick up your mouse over and over again. It is a skill in itself knowing when to reset your hand as you turn so that you don't fall off/hit your keyboard whatever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLvBQx1g1qA

For $15 you could get this. I have a much larger version and the quality is pretty good IMO.


At the very least that's a starting point. You can probably go cheaper but I haven't used anything cheaper recently.
