Do “Gaming” mousepads make a difference with today’s optical mice

mouse

There seem to be a lot of "Gaming" mousepads on the market – some very expensive. Do these make any real impact with today's optical mice over an old mousepad or desk?

Best Answer

It depends on the mouse.

One of my favorite mice is a Laser mouse made by Razer, but the mouse really sucks unless you've got a good mousing surface to go with it. I personally use good mousing surfaces for all of my computers (even when I'm just at work programming, without a gaming mouse), because I like the extra precision.
