Mouse/MousePad Gaming Combination??

Caliden

k im looking to buy a new mouse and mousepad

im thinking about getting a IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 USB mouse
is this any good for gaming?

but not sure about a mouse pad

it this mouse any good and any ideas on a mousemat?
now im basically looking for one to use on first person shooters so one that will provide a non-stick yet smooth surface ( Func/ice/etc.?) <- btw wats the difference between mouse mats?


Note: wasnt sure about posting this here but mouse/mousepads are "kinda" technology in a way.feel free to move this to an appropriate forum if there is one

Stick to what your used to.... but a func mat is the best of those.

Caliden

eh func 1030 mousemat €50??

i personally dont bother with a mouse mat. just a clean table! get the mouse, try it out and then decide if you wanna shell out for a nice mat.

Caliden

wats the difference between an icemat and a func mat?
as komplett have a intelli+icemat for ~€50 which kinda suits my budget but i might just get a blue intelli+func mat from Alienware

icemat is mad of glass, func is well known as the best gaming mousemat. I prefare a cornflakes box.

we could be at this all night.
so an icemat isnt great is it? i.e. can it break/be scratched easily?

zAbbo

Do some research you`ll find its a func with a v3 or mx500, icemat is glass so will be sweaty. I linked you to a func for 8stgs

Caliden

is the func mouse pad big then?
