Dimensions: 450mm x 900mm

Is that size correct 18" X 36" ?

If this be true, I may buy one myself.

Whats the appeal in such mats? I have a mouse mat(two actually for a little extra height) of standard size and then just a G510 beside it. Dont see how having a mat under my arms would really help

I was enquiring with OC about the Razer Deathadder two weeks ago, they were giving that boogiebug pad away with it for free. I emailed them about getting if that offer applied for the left-handed mouse too, and they said "we can sort you out. just email us and we will order it for you".

I ended up being impatient, as they took 2 days to reply, and bought the deathadder and Razer Goliathus control extended mousepad from Amazon with free delivery.

Never realised how much of a difference a good mouse and pad makes, especially one that fits my left hand properly! I feel like Ive been disabled these last few years now Ive finally got a properly fitting mouse.

I've been looking at the XFX warpad and I'm really liking its design with the edge thing cause my arms are the first to go after prolonged gaming.

Sort out your setup Tea Bag and you will should be more comfortable.

I bought this in PC world a few weeks back when I got my pc. Think it costed around 17.99 or so. It's the right job. I've unpeeled it and restuck it to my desk loads of times until I got the position just right so I'd recommend it. Size-wise its about the same dimensions as a large mouse mat but I haven't had any problems with it.

Cant believe you dont like it! I absolutely love my left handed version. I still have my other mouse, and I keep it connected for people who are right handed, they can just pick it up and use as its wireless. After getting used to the Deathadder the last week, I pick up the other mouse to 'try' it again, OMG it feels sluggish, lumpy, laggy and heavy.

When I think of all the money Ive spent on gaming peripherals over the years, I feel like slapping myself for not getting this super buttery feeling super mouse! Good luck with the sale, sure it will be snapped up!

Is this your own setup Burgo? Its actually looks extremely similar to mine! If it is yours, you should pull the speakers out from the corners a little bit more and toe them in to face you better. The bass would be quite boomy in the corner like that. Im an expert, I read that in a magazine! haha

Might grab one myself. Tiny mousepads are the bane of my life.
